Features of the Oni Katana
The Oni Katana is a true masterpiece, embodying the strength and determination of the warrior and symbolizing the power and indomitable spirit of the samurai. This majestic Katana balances tradition and performance, crafted for Japanese weapon enthusiasts seeking a piece that is both elegant and functional.
Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
Forged from Damascus steel, the blade of the Oni Katana stands out with its unique spiral patterns, reminiscent of tranquil ripples on still water. This intricate design, created through layered steel, gives the blade exceptional strength while capturing light to reveal subtle gray highlights. These textures and tones evoke inner strength, resilience, and mastery, paying homage to the ancient art of sword forging.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The zinc alloy tsuba is finely adorned with motifs inspired by legendary tales of the samurai. Designed for both protection and beauty, the guard serves as both a functional separator between the blade and handle and as a work of art. Each carved detail enhances the noble and majestic appearance of the Katana, while providing optimal safety during handling.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
Crafted from lightweight lacquered wood, the saya is designed to protect the blade while offering a refined aesthetic. Its smooth, glossy finish reflects the meticulous finishing process, creating a harmonious and elegant overall appearance. The scabbard not only serves a functional purpose but also elevates the sword with a touch of sophistication, making the Oni Katana a prized collector’s piece.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
Wrapped in synthetic ray skin (shagreen), the tsuka ensures a comfortable and secure grip. Its unique texture, combined with traditional braiding, provides superior adhesion and a captivating design. This blend of modern materials and traditional techniques supports smooth handling while reinforcing the Katana’s durability and strength.
Ornaments (Menuki) and Fixing (Mekugi)
The finely sculpted zinc alloy menuki add an additional artistic touch to the overall design. Two bamboo mekugi ensure a secure and durable attachment of the blade to the handle, guaranteeing stability during use.
The Oni Katana is far more than a simple collector’s item—it is an extension of the warrior’s soul, a tangible representation of inner strength and devotion to Japan’s ancestral traditions.
