Designed for practitioners of Kendo and Iaido, this Katana strikes the perfect balance between aesthetics and performance, making it ideal for both practice and display.
Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
Forged from flexible steel, the blade of the Kamon Katana is crafted to provide both resilience and flexibility, ensuring safe and effective cutting practice. Equipped with dual bo-hi (grooves), the blade is lighter for improved maneuverability and produces a distinctive sound during quick cuts, helping practitioners refine their technique. These grooves play a key role in balancing the sword and enhancing speed and control, while adding to its visual appeal.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The copper tsuba is a masterpiece of precision and tradition. Finely sculpted with intricate details, it combines strength with elegance, providing optimal hand protection during use. Known for its malleability and the natural patina that develops over time, the copper tsuba gives the Katana a unique character that only improves with age. The engraved motifs honor samurai heritage, adding a historical and artistic dimension to the weapon.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
The lacquered wooden saya is adorned with a dragon motif, a powerful symbol of wisdom and strength in Japanese culture. Built to protect the blade, this scabbard is both durable and visually striking. The lacquer finish shields it from external elements, while the securely fastened cotton sageo adds practicality and refined elegance, further enhancing the Katana’s overall appeal.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
Wrapped in genuine white ray skin (shagreen), the tsuka offers a firm and comfortable grip. Known for its durability and non-slip texture, shagreen enhances handling while adding a sophisticated touch. Copper menuki are subtly embedded into the handle, enhancing visual appeal and serving as functional grips for improved control, ensuring precision in every movement.
