Forged from manganese steel, this Katana stands out for its exceptional toughness, impact resistance, and durability, making it ideal for intensive training, especially in handling and repeated cutting exercises.
Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
Made from manganese steel, the Tengu Katana’s blade is known for its hardness and impact resistance. This type of steel, valued for its durability, ensures the blade can withstand the demands of intense training, making it ideal for practitioners seeking a Katana capable of enduring rigorous use. The blade’s unique brown hue, reminiscent of earth and stability, adds a captivating visual element symbolizing strength and a deep connection to nature.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The finely sculpted copper tsuba combines elegance and functionality. Known for its corrosion resistance, copper offers effective hand protection while lending an antique aesthetic through its intricately detailed design. Over time, the copper develops a natural patina, enriching the Katana’s appearance with added character and depth.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
Crafted from sturdy ebony wood, the saya provides strong protection for the blade while offering a sleek, durable finish. The kurigata, made from bull horn, adds a touch of luxury and authenticity, while the sturdy cord enhances the use of high-quality materials throughout. This scabbard perfectly balances protection with aesthetic beauty.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
Wrapped in genuine ray skin (shagreen), the tsuka provides a comfortable, secure grip. The textured shagreen, known for its natural adhesion and moisture resistance, ensures optimal control even during prolonged use. This material also offers exceptional durability, withstanding wear and providing a reliable grip in all conditions.
Ornaments (Menuki) and Fixing (Mekugi)
The finely crafted copper menuki add an extra touch of refinement, connecting the Katana to the rich history of Japanese blades. With its antibacterial properties and evolving patina, copper serves both a functional and aesthetic purpose. The two bamboo mekugi secure the Katana’s stability and structural integrity, offering natural resilience and flexibility to keep the handle firmly attached to the blade, even under significant stress.
