Features of the Koi Katana
Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
Forged from manganese steel, the blade of the Koi Katana is crafted using time-honored techniques that ensure both strength and precision. Known for its durability and excellent edge retention, manganese steel supports prolonged use without compromising sharpness or cutting finesse. The natural color of the steel highlights the blade’s authenticity, showcasing the purity of the metal and the craftsmanship behind it.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The sculpted iron tsuba is a true work of art. Each motif, often inspired by nature or iconic scenes from Japanese history, is meticulously engraved, turning the tsuba into a focal point that captivates and impresses. Beyond its role as a functional guard, it adds a cultural and artistic dimension to the Katana, telling a story with every detail.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
The saya, crafted from polished ebony wood, strikes a perfect balance between strength and sophistication. The kurigata, made from bull horn, further elevates the premium quality of the scabbard. The delicately woven cord adds an extra touch of elegance, reflecting the meticulous attention to detail present throughout the Katana’s design.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
Wrapped in genuine ray skin (shagreen), the tsuka provides a firm and comfortable grip, with a texture prized for its durability. This material offers a striking aesthetic contrast to the blade’s sleek simplicity, while the expertly woven tsuka-ito enhances the traditional look, ensuring optimal ergonomics for smooth, precise handling.
