Features of the Yūga Katana
The Yūga Katana is a stunning tribute to elegance and sophistication, truly living up to its name, which means “grace” in Japanese. Designed to capture the essence of tradition, this Katana combines refined aesthetics with exceptional performance.
Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
Forged from high-carbon 1095 steel, renowned for its purity and durability, the blade stands out for its strength and remarkable edge retention. The delicately traced hamon along the blade reflects expert tempering, achieving the perfect balance between hardness and flexibility. This blade exemplifies artisanal craftsmanship, delivering resilience and precision in every cut.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The intricately sculpted brass tsuba is both protective and artistic. Chosen for its durability and natural resistance to tarnish, brass ensures the guard’s lasting strength and lends a touch of opulence to the Katana’s overall design. Its detailing adds a layer of elegance that enhances the traditional look.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
Crafted from solid wood, the saya provides excellent protection and understated sophistication. Its minimalist design highlights the natural beauty of the blade while shielding it from the elements. The lacquered finish offers durability and complements the Katana’s graceful form without detracting from its refined style.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
Wrapped in genuine ray skin (shagreen), the tsuka offers a comfortable, textured grip, ensuring reliable handling during use. Highly prized for its durability and distinct look, shagreen was favored by high-ranking samurai for its luxurious and functional qualities, adding prestige to the Katana’s overall character.
