Features of the Kikumon Katana
The Katana Kikumon 菊紋, named after the chrysanthemum—an emblem of the Japanese imperial family—represents both grandeur and tradition, merging timeless values with modern performance. This Katana captures the essence of elegance and strength, perfect for those who admire the artistry and craftsmanship of Japanese swords.
Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
Forged from 1095 high-carbon steel, the blade of the Kikumon Katana is celebrated for its outstanding hardness and exceptional edge retention. The claw-shaped hamon, skillfully created through a precise tempering process, reflects the expertise of the swordsmith. This hamon not only adds visual allure but also enhances the blade’s durability, making it ideal for both collectors and practitioners seeking a functional yet striking weapon.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The tsuba, crafted from gold-plated copper, is intricately adorned with chrysanthemum motifs—symbolizing Japan’s noble and imperial heritage. Beyond its functional role as a handguard, this beautifully detailed tsuba elevates the Katana into a piece of art, showcasing a harmonious balance of strength and aesthetic refinement.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
Made from luxurious ebony wood, the saya offers both durability and sophistication. This dense material ensures optimal protection for the blade, while its sleek, polished finish enhances the overall elegance of the Katana. The bull horn kurigata adds a natural and prestigious element, further reinforcing the scabbard’s strength and complementing the sword’s regal design.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
The tsuka is wrapped in genuine shagreen (ray skin), providing a secure, non-slip grip for precise handling. Shagreen’s unique texture and superior durability not only enhance the sword’s functionality but also contribute to its luxurious feel. This traditional material is a hallmark of high-quality Katanas, ensuring comfort and control during use.
Menuki
Gold-plated copper menuki, discreetly positioned beneath the tsuka wrapping, serve both functional and decorative purposes. These refined accents not only enhance the Katana’s balance and handling but also add subtle elegance, seamlessly integrating with the sword’s overall design.
The Katana Kikumon 菊紋 is an exceptional example of Japanese craftsmanship, blending historical legacy with modern functionality. Its 1095 high-carbon steel blade, gold-plated copper details, and luxurious ebony saya make it a standout piece for collectors and martial artists. This Katana is more than a weapon—it’s a masterpiece that reflects the enduring beauty and strength of Japan’s samurai tradition.
