Features of the Saru Katana
The Katana Saru サル, inspired by the intelligence and agility of the monkey, is a stunning embodiment of precision and fluidity. Designed to reflect the grace and resourcefulness of its namesake, this Katana blends traditional Japanese craftsmanship with exceptional performance, making it a standout choice for both martial arts practitioners and discerning collectors.
Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
The blade, forged from high-quality spring steel, offers exceptional flexibility and impact resistance. This material allows the blade to absorb shocks without compromising its integrity, making it highly durable and resilient. The inclusion of a bo-hi (groove) reduces the blade’s weight, improving maneuverability and creating a balanced feel ideal for quick, precise movements. These attributes make the Saru Katana perfectly suited for both practice and performance.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The copper tsuba, meticulously sculpted, is both functional and elegant. Designed to provide reliable hand protection, it features intricate detailing that showcases the artistry of traditional Japanese metalwork. Copper, known for its strength and timeless appeal, enhances the durability and visual sophistication of the sword, adding a unique character to the Katana.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
Crafted from lacquered black wood, the saya offers sleek protection for the blade while exuding understated elegance. The lacquer finish not only adds a layer of scratch resistance but also emphasizes the sword’s minimalist aesthetic. Combining practicality with style, the scabbard ensures that the Katana remains both protected and visually striking.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
The tsuka is wrapped in authentic white shagreen, prized for its textured surface and exceptional durability. This material ensures a firm, slip-resistant grip, essential for confident and precise handling. Copper menuki, subtly placed beneath the wrapping, add an artistic flourish, while bamboo mekugi reinforce the blade’s secure attachment to the handle. Together, these elements provide structural integrity and refined beauty.
The Katana Saru サル is more than just a sword—it is a tribute to agility, precision, and elegance. Its spring steel blade, white shagreen handle, and intricate copper tsuba make it a functional and visually captivating piece. Whether for martial arts training or as a collector’s centerpiece, this Katana embodies the finesse and strength of Japanese sword-making tradition, offering an unmatched blend of performance and artistry.
