Features of the Kikumon Katana
The Katana Kikumon 菊紋, named after the chrysanthemum—an iconic symbol of Japan’s imperial heritage—captures the essence of majesty and precision. A perfect blend of tradition and performance, this Katana is designed for those who value the artistry and strength of Japanese sword-making at its finest.
Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
Forged from 1095 high-carbon steel, the blade of the Katana Kikumon is renowned for its hardness and ability to maintain an exceptionally sharp edge. The striking claw-shaped hamon, created through expert tempering, highlights the skill and dedication of its master swordsmith. This careful process ensures the blade is not only visually captivating but also resilient and performance-ready, ideal for demanding martial arts or refined display.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The tsuba, sculpted from gold-plated copper, is adorned with detailed chrysanthemum motifs. These designs honour the flower’s connection to Japanese royalty, symbolising elegance and power. While offering reliable hand protection, the tsuba also serves as an artistic centrepiece, enriching the Katana’s visual impact with a nod to its cultural significance.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
Crafted from premium ebony wood, the saya combines durability with a luxurious aesthetic. The bull horn kurigata adds a natural, high-quality touch while reinforcing the scabbard’s strength. Designed for both practical use and visual harmony, the scabbard enhances the Katana’s overall balance and sophistication, ensuring the blade is well-protected and beautifully presented.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
Wrapped in genuine shagreen (ray skin), the tsuka provides a textured, non-slip surface for superior grip and control. This traditional material, prized for its durability and luxurious feel, ensures the handle is both functional and elegant. Paired with finely woven wrapping, it offers maximum comfort during use and adds to the Katana’s timeless appeal.
Menuki
The gold-plated copper menuki, discreetly placed beneath the handle wrapping, add subtle sophistication to the Katana Kikumon. These decorative elements not only enhance its aesthetic but also improve balance and manoeuvrability, ensuring the sword performs as beautifully as it looks.
The Katana Kikumon 菊紋 is a remarkable tribute to Japanese heritage, seamlessly merging beauty and functionality. Its 1095 high-carbon steel blade, intricate gold-plated accents, and ebony saya make it a standout piece for collectors and martial artists alike. Whether used for precise cutting practice or displayed as a symbol of refined craftsmanship, the Katana Kikumon captures the spirit of Japanese tradition while meeting modern standards of excellence.
