Features of the Pikokku Katana
The Katana Pikokku ピコック is a stunning creation that seamlessly combines traditional Japanese craftsmanship with outstanding functionality. Forged from premium T10 high-carbon steel, this Katana delivers exceptional hardness, ensuring a razor-sharp edge and reliable durability under pressure. The choji hamon technique visible along the blade not only enhances its elegance but also reflects the expertise of the tempering process, ensuring excellent strength and cutting performance.
Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
The blade, crafted from T10 steel, is celebrated for its superior strength and resistance to wear. Its high carbon content makes it especially tough, capable of maintaining an exceptional edge for precise cutting. The choji hamon, a wavy temper line produced through selective hardening, is a visual testament to the expert heat treatment process. This intricate pattern reinforces the blade’s durability while showcasing the artistry of the swordsmith, making it ideal for both practice and display.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The tsuba, made from gilded copper, is both protective and visually refined. Designed to balance the Katana perfectly, it also shields the wielder’s hand during use. Copper’s inherent malleability and corrosion resistance make it a reliable choice, while the golden detailing adds a touch of elegance to this functional feature, complementing the overall design.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
The lacquered wooden saya is as practical as it is stylish, offering robust protection for the blade while enhancing the Katana’s overall aesthetic. Intricate painted patterns adorn the scabbard, adding a refined visual element, while the green sageo provides a secure and functional fastening system. This blend of practicality and elegance reflects the harmony central to Japanese sword-making traditions.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
Wrapped in authentic shagreen, the tsuka ensures a secure, non-slip grip, enhancing stability during use. The traditional diamond-shaped wrapping pattern not only provides additional grip but also adds to the overall comfort. Embedded copper menuki add an ornamental touch, enriching the handle’s appearance while contributing to its ergonomic design, ensuring balance and ease of handling.
Fixation (Mekugi)
Two bamboo mekugi securely anchor the blade to the handle, offering essential structural stability. This traditional fixation method ensures the Katana is safe and reliable during use, whether for martial practice or cutting demonstrations.
The Katana Pikokku ピコック is an extraordinary sword that honours the legacy of Japanese sword-making while incorporating modern refinement. With its durable T10 steel blade, choji hamon, and shagreen-wrapped handle, this Katana is an ideal choice for martial artists and collectors alike.
