The Katana Saku 朔 is a stunning embodiment of Japanese tradition and superior craftsmanship. Each detail has been meticulously crafted to achieve a perfect balance of aesthetics and functionality, resulting in a weapon that is as striking as it is reliable.
Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
Forged from Damascus steel, the blade of the Katana Saku displays breathtaking wavy patterns, a signature of this premium steel. These patterns are enhanced by a mirror polish, applied with expert precision by a master swordsmith. The visible hamon adds a layer of beauty and signifies the blade’s exceptional hardening process. Renowned for its sharp edge and durability, this blade excels in both cutting practice and as a collector’s masterpiece.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The finely crafted copper tsuba serves as both a protective and artistic centrepiece. Its intricate designs reflect the elegance of traditional Japanese motifs while ensuring the durability needed for precise handling. The sturdy yet decorative tsuba contributes to the overall balance of the Katana, making it a blend of functionality and artistry.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
The saya takes inspiration from the traditional Tachi style, featuring premium fittings such as the Obitori Kanagu, Kashiwaba, and Kogiri. These authentic elements highlight the historical and cultural significance of the Katana. The tsuka-ito wrap extends seamlessly onto the saya, creating a unified and sophisticated appearance. This refined design ensures the saya not only protects the blade but also elevates the Katana’s presence.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
Wrapped in genuine shagreen (ray skin), the tsuka ensures a secure and comfortable grip, essential for confident and controlled handling. The granular texture of shagreen enhances durability while adding an understated elegance. Intricately crafted copper menuki add a decorative flair and further improve the Katana’s balance. Traditional bamboo mekugi secure the blade firmly to the handle, adhering to time-honoured Japanese techniques to guarantee strength and reliability.
