The Katana Pikokku ピコック is a stunning blend of traditional craftsmanship and superior functionality, showcasing the artistry and precision of Japanese swordsmithing. Made with T10 high-carbon steel, this Katana offers exceptional hardness and resilience, ensuring long-lasting sharpness and strength. The choji hamon, a wavy temper line along the blade, not only adds visual beauty but also highlights the expert tempering process that enhances the blade’s durability and cutting performance.
Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
Crafted from T10 steel, the blade of the Katana Pikokku delivers outstanding toughness and a razor-sharp edge, thanks to its high carbon content. The choji hamon, with its elegant wavy pattern, reflects the masterful differential hardening technique that gives the blade its strength and flexibility. This intricate design is both a testament to superior craftsmanship and a functional feature that enhances the blade’s cutting precision and durability.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The tsuba, meticulously sculpted from gilded copper, is as functional as it is beautiful. Designed to balance the Katana while protecting the wielder’s hand, the tsuba features intricate detailing that adds sophistication to the sword’s appearance. Copper’s natural resistance to corrosion and malleability ensures that the guard remains durable while maintaining its luxurious aesthetic over time.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
The saya is expertly lacquered and painted to provide durable protection for the blade while contributing to the Katana’s overall elegance. Adorned with intricate patterns that enhance the sword’s visual theme, the scabbard is complemented by a green sageo, which serves as both a secure and stylish fastening. This seamless blend of practicality and refinement makes the saya an essential part of the Katana’s design.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
Wrapped in genuine shagreen, the tsuka provides a secure and comfortable grip. The textured surface ensures excellent stability during use, while the traditional diamond-shaped wrapping pattern enhances both comfort and handling. Copper menuki are subtly embedded within the handle, adding an extra layer of elegance while improving the ergonomics of the design.
Fixation (Mekugi)
Two bamboo mekugi pins securely anchor the blade to the handle, providing critical structural stability. This traditional method of assembly ensures the safety and reliability of the Katana, making it suitable for smooth, controlled handling during practice or display.
