Features of the Yūkan’na Katana
The Yūkan’na Katana is an exceptional masterpiece of Japanese craftsmanship, designed for those seeking a flawless, high-quality sword. Representing the pinnacle of Japanese forging tradition, this Katana is crafted for discerning collectors and practitioners who seek a truly masterful blade.
Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
Forged using the ancient Kobuse technique, the blade of the Yūkan’na Katana combines T10 steel with a Damascus hamon created through clay tempering, delivering unmatched resilience and beauty. T10 steel, known for its ideal balance of hardness and flexibility, provides outstanding strength, while the damascus patterns form a distinctive hamon as a result of selective tempering. This feature enhances the blade’s cutting performance and ensures optimal durability. The blade’s cross-hatched edge allows for precise cuts, meeting the high expectations of even the most skilled practitioners.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The pure copper tsuba, adorned with gold and silver detailing, exudes both nobility and strength. Copper offers exceptional durability while providing effective hand protection during use. The gold and silver accents add a layer of refinement, elevating the sword’s prestigious appearance and reinforcing its status as a work of art.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
The saya, crafted from solid wood and covered in luxurious green ray skin (shagreen), offers both strength and elegance. This unique finish evokes the depth and richness of ancient forests while ensuring optimal protection for the blade. Shagreen, known for its resistance to wear, also lends a touch of luxury, enhancing the sword’s overall prestige and visual appeal.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
Wrapped in genuine ray skin, the tsuka provides a secure and comfortable grip. The textured shagreen offers excellent adhesion, ensuring optimal control even in the most demanding conditions. This material not only enhances the sword’s durability but also provides an exceptional handling experience, making it ideal for both display and practice.
