Crafted for martial arts enthusiasts and collectors who value the artistry of Japanese sword-making, every detail of this Katana is carefully designed to reflect exceptional quality and deep symbolism.
Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
Forged from T10 steel, prized for its unmatched strength and sharp edge retention, the blade of the Katana Ryousei features a flawless mirror polish. This finish not only enhances its visual beauty but also reduces friction, ensuring smooth and precise cutting performance. The blade’s refined design allows for fluid, harmonious movements, making each strike feel like a natural extension of the wielder’s skill and intent.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The tsuba is an artistic highlight, crafted from gilded copper with intricate star-themed motifs, paying homage to the celestial inspiration behind the Katana’s name. In addition to its decorative appeal, the guard provides robust hand protection and contributes to the overall balance of the sword, ensuring effortless manoeuvrability.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
The saya, constructed from lacquered green wood, is both protective and visually striking. The rich green lacquer finish adds a sense of elegance, while the green-and-white braided sageo complements the scabbard’s design, ensuring secure attachment when worn. This blend of functionality and aesthetics exemplifies the craftsmanship that defines traditional Japanese swords.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
Wrapped in genuine shagreen (ray skin), the tsuka provides a textured, non-slip grip that ensures precise handling and control. The gold-coloured tsuka-ito adds a touch of sophistication, while also improving grip reliability during intense movements. Durable and elegant, the handle materials are chosen to ensure the Katana’s long-lasting performance, making it a practical and visually stunning choice.
