Features of the Dentō Katana
The Katana Dentō 伝統 is a stunning representation of the timeless blend of tradition and modern craftsmanship. With its impeccable design and performance-driven features, this Katana honours the legacy of the samurai while offering exceptional functionality and elegance.
Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
The 71 cm blade of the Katana Dentō is a masterpiece of forging, combining two premium steel types. The core, crafted from T10 steel, delivers unparalleled strength and resilience, making it ideal for demanding use. The outer layer, made from Damascus steel, showcases unique wave-like patterns that highlight the expertise behind its creation. The distinct hamon, revealed through meticulous stone polishing, is both a testament to the artisan’s skill and a functional indicator of the blade’s exceptional cutting edge.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The copper tsuba is intricately designed with gold and silver embellishments, striking a perfect balance between form and function. This guard is not only a protective element but also an artistic statement, showcasing traditional Japanese motifs that reflect the cultural and historical significance of the Katana. Every engraving is executed with precision, elevating the tsuba into a true work of art.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
Crafted from lacquered wood, the saya enhances the refined aesthetic of the Katana with its sleek, polished finish. The high-gloss lacquer protects the wood while adding a touch of sophistication, ensuring that the scabbard retains its beauty over time. Its elegant design complements the blade, embodying the harmony and balance central to Japanese sword-making.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
The tsuka is wrapped in authentic shagreen (stingray leather), providing both a comfortable and secure grip. Renowned for its textured durability, shagreen ensures optimal traction, crucial for precise handling during use. This material, combined with traditional wrapping techniques, adds a luxurious and practical dimension to the sword, making it a joy to wield.
