Features of the Inazuma Katana
The Inazuma Katana, meaning “lightning” in Japanese, is distinguished by its sleek design and vibrant blue blade paired with a two-tone tsuka-ito. Created for serious beginners aiming to develop their cutting skills, this Katana combines exceptional durability with refined aesthetics, delivering both performance and visual impact.
Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
Forged from T10 steel, the blade of the Inazuma Katana is celebrated for its high resistance and ability to retain an exceptionally sharp edge. This carbon-rich steel is perfect for cutting practice, ensuring unmatched durability and efficiency. Its mirror-polished finish highlights the natural hamon, created through precise tempering. This process not only enhances the blade’s hardness but also adds stunning visual appeal. A groove (Bo-Hi) runs along the length of the blade, reducing its weight for improved agility and handling, while producing a satisfying, resonant sound with each cut.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The iron tsuba is both robust and intricately detailed, striking a perfect balance between function and artistry. Designed to provide reliable hand protection, the tsuba features traditional engravings that reflect the craftsmanship of Japanese swordsmiths. These fine details add character and authenticity to the Katana, enhancing its overall harmony.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
Crafted from solid lacquered wood, the saya ensures the blade is securely protected while maintaining a timeless elegance. The lacquered finish is both smooth to the touch and scratch-resistant, enhancing the scabbard’s durability and appeal. The understated design of the saya allows the striking colour of the blade to stand out, creating a visually balanced and sophisticated ensemble.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
The tsuka, wrapped in genuine shagreen, offers a secure, non-slip grip essential for training and demonstrations. The traditional texture of shagreen adds durability, while the two-tone tsuka-ito enhances the handle’s aesthetic appeal. The expertly braided wrapping combines classic Japanese techniques with modern flair, blending tradition and innovation seamlessly.
The Inazuma Katana embodies power and elegance in equal measure. Its thoughtfully designed features, including the T10 steel blade, two-tone tsuka-ito, and intricately detailed tsuba, make it a perfect choice for practitioners starting their cutting practice with a dependable and high-performing sword. With its balance of tradition and modernity, the Inazuma Katana captures the essence of lightning in both form and function, making it not just a weapon but a piece of art.
