Features of the Kage Katana
The Kage Katana is a true masterpiece of martial artistry, blending refined aesthetics with impressive cutting performance. Every aspect of this sword embodies the delicate balance between elegance and power, honoring the centuries-old traditions of Japanese sword-making.
Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
Forged from durable manganese steel, the black blade stands out for its exceptional toughness and longevity. Designed to endure repeated sharpening while retaining its razor-sharp edge, this blade is ideal for serious practitioners seeking lasting reliability. Known for its wear resistance and ability to keep a sharp edge, manganese steel makes this Katana a top choice for both training and cutting demonstrations.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
Crafted from zinc alloy, the Tsuba strikes a perfect balance between lightness and strength, providing solid hand protection without compromising maneuverability. Its intricately sculpted design reflects both strength and elegance, embodying the values of martial arts. This balance between beauty and function enhances the grip and adds a visually striking element to the Katana’s design.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
Made from ebony wood, the Saya has a dark, elegant appearance and offers natural resistance, effectively shielding the blade from external elements. The Kurigata, made from bull horn, adds a luxurious touch of durability, enhancing the visual appeal and the scabbard’s longevity.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
Wrapped in genuine ray skin (shagreen), the handle provides a textured grip that ensures a firm and comfortable hold, even during prolonged use. Prized for its durability and resistance to wear, ray skin strengthens the Tsuka, furthering the sword’s overall longevity. Subtle zinc alloy Menuki enhance balance and maneuverability, while two bamboo Mekugi provide the traditional, secure fastening of the blade to the handle.
