Designed for discerning collectors and martial arts practitioners, this Katana reflects the precision and artistry of traditional Japanese sword-making in every detail, making it both functional and stunning.
Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
Forged from T10 steel, the blade of the Ray Katana is celebrated for its high carbon content, delivering superior hardness and excellent cutting ability. The precisely heat-treated hamon is not just a mark of its exquisite craftsmanship but also a testament to its durability and edge retention. This blade effortlessly balances beauty and strength, making it an ideal choice for both practice and display.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The tsuba, meticulously crafted from copper, is both practical and artistic. Designed to provide reliable hand protection during use, it also absorbs impact efficiently, ensuring safety and balance. The elegant craftsmanship of the tsuba adds a layer of sophistication to the Katana while maintaining its structural durability and timeless appeal.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
The deep blue lacquered saya is adorned with a pattern inspired by ray skin, symbolizing resilience and longevity. This unique design creates a tactile and visually captivating finish, while the lacquer protects the blade from external elements like moisture and dust. The combination of aesthetics and functionality ensures that the scabbard complements the overall elegance of the sword.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
The tsuka is wrapped in genuine white shagreen, a prized material known for its textured surface, durability, and anti-slip properties. This ensures a secure and comfortable grip, critical for precise handling during cutting techniques. Copper menuki, discreetly placed beneath the wrapping, add a subtle decorative element, while bamboo mekugi secure the blade to the handle, ensuring long-lasting structural integrity.
