Features of the Jin Katana
Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
The black manganese steel blade features a matte finish that gives it a modern look while maintaining the traditional lines of a Katana. This deep ebony color adds a sense of elegance and mystery, capturing the essence of the Japanese sword in an ornamental design. Though primarily intended for display, the solid steel construction offers good durability.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The iron tsuba is adorned with finely engraved patterns inspired by the intricate designs characteristic of the Edo period. Each engraving reflects the skill of the artisans, with detailed motifs that echo the artistic richness of this historical era. In addition to its decorative appeal, the tsuba acts as a sturdy barrier between the blade and handle, ensuring a balanced structure.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
The lacquered wooden saya is a work of art in itself, hand-painted with historical scenes from the Edo period. Not only does the scabbard protect the blade, but it also tells a story, transporting the viewer into the cultural landscape of feudal Japan. Its polished finish and intricate details make it a decorative element in its own right, enhancing the overall aesthetic of the Katana.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
The handle, crafted from wood and wrapped in imitation ray skin (galuchat), offers a comfortable grip while staying true to traditional Katana-making techniques. Wrapped with carefully knotted cord (tsuka-ito), the tsuka provides a secure grip, whether for casual handling or display.
