Features of the Ketsueki Katana
The Katana Ketsueki 血液 is a stunning creation that symbolises fiery passion and uncompromising precision. With its refined T10 steel blade and vibrant red lacquered scabbard, this Katana captures the essence of Japanese sword craftsmanship, blending striking aesthetics with exceptional performance.
Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
Forged from premium T10 steel, the blade of the Katana Ketsueki is celebrated for its high carbon content, ensuring outstanding cutting power and excellent resistance to wear. The visible hamon, created through traditional differential hardening, enhances both the visual appeal and structural integrity of the blade. Its mirror-polished finish further accentuates the craftsmanship, making this Katana a perfect choice for those seeking unmatched performance and long-lasting durability.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The copper tsuba, adorned with fine silver-gilded engravings, is a seamless blend of functionality and elegance. Copper, chosen for its durability and malleability, provides reliable hand protection while contributing to the sword’s overall balance. The intricate detailing reflects the artistry of Japanese swordsmiths, ensuring that the tsuba complements both the aesthetic and practical aspects of the weapon.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
The saya is crafted from solid wood and coated with a bold red lacquer that commands attention. Designed for both protection and style, the lacquered finish safeguards the blade while giving the Katana a striking visual identity. The traditional woven cotton sageo not only adds a secure carrying option but also contributes to the overall harmony of the Katana’s design.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
Wrapped in authentic white shagreen (ray skin), the tsuka offers a secure and ergonomic grip essential for precise handling. The granular texture of shagreen is valued for its durability and non-slip properties, making it ideal for extended use. Subtly embedded menuki featuring floral motifs enhance both the aesthetic appeal and balance of the handle, harmonising beautifully with the intricate design of the tsuba.
The Katana Ketsueki 血液 is more than just a sword—it is a masterpiece of martial artistry that pays tribute to the samurai legacy. Its high-performance T10 steel blade, elegant copper tsuba, and striking red scabbard combine to create a weapon that is both deadly and beautiful. Whether for martial arts practice or as a collector’s treasure, the Katana Ketsueki embodies the grace and power of Japanese sword craftsmanship, honouring the spirit of bushido in every detail.
