This Katana seamlessly combines visual charm with practical functionality, making it an ideal display item and a great starting point for those exploring the art of Japanese swordsmanship.
Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
Forged from T10 steel, the blade of the Katana Geiko is renowned for its durability and ability to maintain an exceptionally sharp edge. A visible hamon, achieved through precise heat treatment, enhances the blade’s strength while adding a touch of refined artistry. This combination of resilience and beauty ensures the blade stands out as both functional and visually impressive.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The tsuba, crafted from intricately sculpted copper, serves a dual purpose of protection and aesthetic enhancement. Its design draws inspiration from traditional Japanese art and architecture, embodying the elegance and cultural heritage of Japan. This refined feature not only adds to the Katana’s visual appeal but also provides balance and safety during use.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
The lacquered wooden saya is a defining element of the Katana Geiko. Its flawless, glossy finish protects the blade from scratches and environmental damage, ensuring durability while maintaining a polished appearance. The saya is both functional and decorative, elevating the Katana’s overall presentation.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
The tsuka is wrapped in authentic shagreen (ray skin) and traditional silk, providing a firm and comfortable grip. These premium materials ensure excellent handling and stability, enhancing the Katana’s practicality during practice. The combination of luxurious texture and traditional craftsmanship adds sophistication to the weapon, making it as beautiful as it is functional.
