Features of the Kasei Katana
The Katana Kasei 火星 is a refined masterpiece that perfectly embodies power and elegance. By combining traditional Japanese craftsmanship with contemporary design, this Katana delivers exceptional performance and visual appeal, making it a standout piece for collectors and martial artists alike.
Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
Forged from Damascus steel, the blade of the Katana Kasei is a testament to skilled craftsmanship. Its mesmerising swirling patterns, created by layering and folding multiple sheets of steel, not only offer unique visual beauty but also ensure superior strength and flexibility. Renowned for its sharpness and edge retention, this blade is both highly functional for cutting and an artistic statement, ideal for tameshigiri or display.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The tsuba, crafted from durable zinc alloy, provides reliable hand protection while maintaining the sword’s balance. Lightweight yet strong, the tsuba is intricately adorned with detailed motifs, blending aesthetics with functionality. Its robust construction ensures longevity, while the elegant design enhances the overall sophistication of the Katana.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
The saya, made from high-density ebony wood, offers both superior blade protection and a luxurious finish. Known for its durability and striking grain patterns, ebony wood ensures the scabbard withstands wear while complementing the refined design of the Katana. The kurigata, crafted from bull horn, reinforces critical stress points, providing added durability and a touch of understated elegance.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
The tsuka is wrapped in authentic shagreen, offering a textured surface that provides a secure and comfortable grip. The granular texture of the shagreen, combined with traditional craftsmanship, ensures maximum control and reliability during use. Zinc alloy menuki and dual bamboo mekugi further stabilise the blade, keeping it securely anchored to the handle while adding subtle decorative detail.
