The Katana Koi 濃い is a tribute to the depth and subtlety of traditional Japanese craftsmanship. Its name, evoking intensity and richness, is reflected in every aspect of its design and high-quality materials.
Blade (刀身): The blade is forged from manganese steel, known for its durability and ability to maintain a sharp edge. The natural color of the steel adds an element of authenticity, emphasizing the purity of the metal and the mastery of forging.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔): The sculpted iron guard is a work of art, often depicting elements of nature or Japanese historical scenes. It's an attribute that never fails to elicit conversation and admiration.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘): Made of ebony wood, the Saya is both sturdy and elegant. The bull horn Kurigata, embellished with sophisticated stringing, demonstrates attention to detail and a commitment to quality and aesthetics.
Handle (Tsuka 柄): Genuine stingray leather offers not only a comfortable grip but also a rich texture that contrasts nicely with the simplicity of the blade.
This Katana Koi is more than just a collector's item or practice tool, it's an extension of the warrior, a link to the past and an expression of Japanese craftsmanship.
