Features of the Kaji Katana
The Katana Kaji 火事 pays vivid tribute to the traditional Japanese art of sword forging, capturing the raw essence of fire in its design. Whether for martial arts practitioners or passionate collectors, this Katana is a masterpiece that blends striking aesthetics with impressive performance.
Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
Forged from T10 steel, renowned for its superior strength and razor-sharp edge retention, the blade features an elegant undulating hamon. This pattern isn’t just decorative—it reflects the expert differential hardening process, balancing flexibility with a sharp, durable cutting edge. Dual bo-hi (grooves) have been added to reduce the blade’s weight, improving manoeuvrability and creating a satisfying whistle during swift movements, a feature highly valued in cutting practice.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The intricately sculpted copper tsuba depicts a dragon, a symbol of wisdom and strength deeply rooted in Japanese culture. Beyond its stunning craftsmanship, the tsuba provides essential hand protection and contributes to the sword’s balance. The fine detailing of the dragon showcases the extraordinary skill of the artisans, making this a centrepiece of the Katana’s design.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
The saya, crafted from red lacquered wood, symbolises passion and courage. Its bold design is complemented by a red-and-white sageo, which adds a touch of elegance while serving a practical purpose. The lacquer provides both a polished finish and robust protection against environmental damage. Securely tied, the sageo ensures safe carrying of the Katana and enables smooth, controlled drawing and sheathing.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
The tsuka is wrapped in genuine white shagreen (ray skin), providing a firm, textured grip that ensures precision and safety during handling. The shagreen’s natural durability and anti-slip surface make it ideal for intense training sessions. Copper menuki are positioned within the handle wrap, adding both balance and a refined decorative touch. The blade is securely anchored to the handle with bamboo mekugi, ensuring the Katana’s structural integrity and long-term reliability.
The Katana Kaji 火事 is a brilliant fusion of tradition and performance, blending the artistry of a T10 steel blade with a flowing hamon, a finely sculpted dragon-themed tsuba, and a bold red lacquered saya. This sword is equally suited for martial arts practice and as a standout piece in any collection. A perfect blend of artistry and function, the Kaji Katana honours the legacy of Japanese master swordsmiths while embodying the fiery inspiration that defines its name.
