Features of the Tori Katana
The Katana Tori 鳥 encapsulates the essence of Japanese tradition, artfully combining timeless craftsmanship with refined aesthetics. Whether for martial arts practitioners or collectors, this Katana represents a harmonious blend of power, precision, and elegance, crafted from premium materials and finished with meticulous attention to detail.
Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
The blade of the Tori Katana, forged from T10 steel, is celebrated for its outstanding strength and edge retention due to its high carbon content. A master swordsmith has applied a mirror-polished finish, accentuating the stunning hamon—an undulating temper line that reflects the precise differential hardening process. Combining durability with artistry, this blade offers exceptional performance while serving as a visual masterpiece, ideal for cutting practice or display.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The intricately carved copper tsuba features delicate floral motifs that symbolise the harmony between humanity and the natural world, a fundamental element of samurai philosophy. Accented with gold and silver highlights, the tsuba not only provides robust hand protection but also contributes to the Katana’s balance and elegance. Copper’s natural corrosion resistance ensures the guard remains durable while adding a sophisticated aesthetic.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
The black lacquered saya is adorned with a finely detailed tree branch motif, representing the deep connection between man and nature. Constructed from sturdy wood, the scabbard protects the blade while offering a sleek and polished appearance. The durable lacquer finish shields the saya from environmental damage, ensuring long-lasting quality, while its minimalist design complements the sword’s overall sophistication.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
Wrapped in authentic white shagreen (stingray leather), the tsuka ensures a secure, comfortable grip for optimal control. The textured surface of the shagreen provides superior traction, even during extended use, making it as functional as it is visually appealing. The addition of finely crafted copper menuki and dual bamboo mekugi reinforces the handle’s structural integrity, ensuring stability and reliability in both practice and display settings.
