Features of the Kuro Katana
Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
Forged from 1095 steel, a high-grade Maru steel, this blade stands out for its high carbon content, which gives it exceptional hardness and impressive resilience. Known for maintaining a razor-sharp edge over extended use, 1095 steel also offers excellent resistance to wear. Ideal for dedicated beginners and seasoned practitioners alike, the 1095 steel blade ensures clean, precise cuts, with durability that inspires confidence during training.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The solid brass tsuba balances aesthetics and protection. Chosen for its durability and resistance to corrosion, the brass tsuba provides a sturdy guard between the blade and the hand, ensuring optimal safety. The finely engraved designs add an artistic touch without compromising functionality, blending beauty and practicality in an ideal balance.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
The saya, crafted from lightweight and durable magnolia wood, protects the blade while keeping the Katana easy to carry and handle. Known for its moisture resistance, magnolia wood helps shield the blade from corrosion. The lacquered finish adds a refined touch and increases durability, making the scabbard more resistant to scratches and impacts.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
The tsuka, made from solid wood and wrapped in genuine ray skin (galuchat), offers a secure and comfortable grip. Valued for its non-slip texture, ray skin provides a solid hold, even during prolonged use. The expertly executed wrapping enhances the Katana’s authenticity and ensures excellent ergonomics, essential for precise control during movement.
