Features of the Orochi Katana
The Orochi Katana is a masterpiece of Japanese swordcraft, honoring the ancient traditions of Japanese swordsmithing. Created for those who seek the highest standards, this Katana combines beauty, power, and precision in every detail.
Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
Forged from high-carbon T10 steel, the blade is renowned for its strength and exceptional edge retention. The hamon features a striking, flame-like pattern, the result of expert differential tempering, which enhances both the blade’s hardness and aesthetic appeal. The mirror polish further refines the blade’s lines, making it not only visually impressive but also highly effective for precise cutting.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The golden sculpted copper tsuba is both functional and elegant. Each engraved detail showcases Japanese artistry, and the copper’s durability and malleability ensure long-lasting strength, developing a refined patina over time. The tsuba also provides balance to the Katana, making handling smooth and fluid.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
The saya, crafted from solid ebony wood, offers optimal protection while adding a sophisticated look. Ebony, known for its density and resilience, safeguards the blade from external elements. The bull horn kurigata adds a unique touch, combining strength and elegance, while the carefully woven sageo ensures secure attachment to the scabbard, making transportation safe and convenient.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
Wrapped in genuine ray skin (shagreen), the tsuka provides a textured, non-slip grip essential for precise handling. Known for its durability and luxurious appearance, the shagreen enhances both function and aesthetics. Golden copper menuki, placed to improve grip and control, also add a subtle decorative element, balancing style with utility.
Structure
Secured by two bamboo mekugi, the blade-to-handle connection is stable and allows for traditional disassembly, a feature ideal for meticulous maintenance. This design, inherited from ancient techniques, ensures the Katana’s long-lasting integrity and reliability.
The Orochi Katana represents both power and elegance, combining the discipline of Japanese swordsmanship with sophisticated design. Ideal for both practice and display, this Katana is perfect for those who value a functional weapon that also serves as a collector’s piece, each use or display paying tribute to the spirit of Bushido.
