The Katana Ōkami 狼 embodies the spirit of the wolf, a symbol of pride and self-reliance, through its meticulous design and premium materials.
Blade (刀身): Refined T10 steel is chosen for its high carbon content, giving the blade superior strength and the ability to retain a sharp edge. The presence of the Hamon, not just an aesthetic detail, testifies to selective tempering offering a balance between flexibility and hardness.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔): The finely sculpted copper Tsuba is an ornamental piece that combines art and function. Malleable, corrosion-resistant copper is ideal for intricate detailing, adding both protection and a touch of historic elegance.
Sheath (Saya 鞘): The lacquered wood of the Saya features the Toyotomi clan motif, a tribute to Japanese history. The lacquering is not just decorative; it protects the wood from the elements, prolonging the scabbard's longevity while highlighting its finesse.
Handle (Tsuka 柄): Wrapped in authentic white shagreen, the handle offers a secure and refined grip. Known for its robustness and unique texture, Galuchat is valued in martial arts for its durability and distinctive aesthetic.
The Ōkami 狼 Katana is a fusion of functionality and artistic form, a tangible representation of the quiet strength and independence of the wolf, designed for history buffs and martial artists alike.
