Features of the Nobunaga Katana
The Nobunaga Katana is a stunning weapon that perfectly combines refined aesthetics with exceptional martial performance. Designed with meticulous attention to detail, this Katana offers not only superior handling but also captivating visual appeal. It embodies the strength and prestige of Oda Nobunaga, one of Japan’s most renowned warlords, paying tribute to his enduring legacy.
Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
Forged from manganese steel, the blade is a testament to resilience and flexibility, making it ideal for practising cutting techniques such as tameshigiri. Its dazzling golden hue is bold and distinctive, elevating the Katana’s status as a prestigious and elegant weapon. This vibrant colour reflects light beautifully, adding an element of drama that captivates attention and sets it apart from traditional blades.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The copper tsuba is both a protective handguard and a striking visual centrepiece. Copper, favoured for its corrosion resistance, allows for detailed engravings that bring out the artistry of Japanese craftsmanship. Serving its functional purpose of protecting the wielder’s hand, the tsuba also enhances the noble and commanding presence of the Katana, reinforcing its connection to the legacy of Oda Nobunaga.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
The saya, crafted from premium ebony wood, combines durability with timeless sophistication. Its rich, dark finish enhances the Katana’s overall elegance, while the kurigata (knob) made from bull horn adds both strength and a natural aesthetic. The braided sageo cord is functional and decorative, offering secure transport while contributing a refined contrast to the scabbard’s sleek ebony finish.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
The tsuka is wrapped in genuine ray skin (shagreen), providing a secure, non-slip grip essential for precise control. Renowned for its durability, ray skin enhances both the comfort and functionality of the handle. The finely detailed copper menuki serve as subtle decorative elements, while the bamboo mekugi (pegs) ensure the blade remains securely fastened, even during rigorous training or demonstrations.
The Nobunaga Katana is far more than just a sword—it is a tribute to Japan’s samurai heritage and the noble qualities of one of its most iconic leaders. With its golden blade, expertly crafted ebony saya, and intricately detailed copper tsuba, this Katana is a standout piece for practitioners and collectors alike. Symbolising sophistication, power, and honour, the Nobunaga Katana is perfect for those seeking a weapon that merges functionality with unparalleled artistry.
