Features of the Doragon Katana
The Doragon Katana is a stunning work of art, perfectly blending the ancient Japanese art of swordsmithing with the symbolic majesty of the dragon, a revered figure in Eastern mythology.
Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
Forged from Damascus steel with a remarkable hamon, this 71 cm blade is a visual marvel. The swirling patterns characteristic of Damascus steel are achieved through a complex folding process, which not only provides the blade with exceptional strength but also enhances its durability. Each blade is uniquely patterned, showcasing both the beauty and power of traditional sword-making techniques.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
Crafted from copper, the tsuba features an intricate dragon design, embodying the power, protection, and wisdom associated with dragons in Japanese folklore. Beyond its role in hand protection, the tsuba serves as a piece of art, enriching the Katana with a mystical and cultural significance.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
The saya, made from lacquered wood, is decorated with delicately hand-painted floral motifs that add a touch of natural elegance, contrasting beautifully with the strength of the blade. The lacquer provides protection against environmental elements and gives the scabbard a smooth, glossy finish, enhancing the Katana’s luxurious appearance.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
Wrapped in genuine white ray skin (shagreen), the tsuka offers both aesthetic appeal and functionality. The textured surface, known for its durability and natural grip, ensures a secure and comfortable hold. Copper menuki are subtly integrated into the handle’s design, adding a symbolic and decorative element that complements the Katana’s overall harmony.
Dimensions
With an overall length of 103 cm, including the saya, the Doragon Katana has a blade width of 3.2 cm and a thickness of 0.75 cm, creating an impressive presence and well-balanced feel for precise handling.
