Features of the Sabana Katana
The Katana Sabana サバンナ, inspired by the vast and majestic African savannah, masterfully combines elegance and strength. Crafted with exceptional precision, this Katana reflects the harmony of nature’s grace and untamed power.
Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
Forged from T10 steel, the blade of the Katana Sabana is celebrated for its exceptional durability and ability to retain a razor-sharp edge. This high-carbon steel, known for its resilience, is adorned with a wave-patterned hamon that mirrors the fluid motion of winds sweeping across the plains. The mirror-polished finish not only enhances the blade’s striking appearance but also ensures precise, clean cuts. Its unparalleled durability makes this blade ideal for rigorous use while maintaining its visual appeal.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The copper tsuba, intricately crafted, features gold and silver embellishments inspired by the rich flora of the African savannah. Copper, valued for its durability and corrosion resistance, provides a solid and reliable guard that also adds a refined touch of artistry. Beyond its aesthetic charm, the tsuba ensures optimal hand protection and contributes to the sword’s overall balance.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
The red lacquered saya is a visual standout, featuring beautifully detailed tiger motifs symbolising agility and strength—qualities essential to the art of swordsmanship. Constructed from sturdy wood, the scabbard protects the blade while offering a smooth, glossy finish that is resistant to wear and environmental damage. The lacquer adds an extra layer of durability and enhances the vibrant design, making the saya as functional as it is decorative.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
Wrapped in genuine white shagreen, the tsuka provides a secure and comfortable grip thanks to the material’s textured, non-slip surface. Shagreen is renowned for its longevity and tactile quality, ensuring precision and control during handling. The handle is further enhanced with copper menuki and bamboo mekugi, which not only offer structural integrity but also contribute to the Katana’s exceptional balance and manoeuvrability.
