The
Katana Tengu 天狗 embodies a fusion of robustness and finesse, with a manganese steel blade that guarantees strength and durability. Manganese steel is renowned for its hardness and shock resistance, making it an ideal choice for a katana blade designed for handling training and repeated cuts.
The brown-colored blade has an earthy aesthetic, symbolizing strength and stability, while the guard (Tsuba 鍔), finely sculpted in copper, adds a touch of antique elegance and corrosion resistance.
The scabbard (Saya 鞘), made of sturdy ebony wood, offers solid protection for the blade, and its bull horn Kurigata with strong cording underscores a commitment to high-quality, durable materials.
The handle (Tsuka 柄) in genuine stingray leather ensures a comfortable and secure grip, stingray being renowned for its unique texture and resistance to moisture and wear.
The copper Menuki kit completes the design with a touch of refinement and a historical connection, copper being traditionally prized for its antibacterial properties and beautiful patina that develops over time.
With two bamboo Mekugi, the Katana Tengu is secure and reliable, bamboo offering natural strength and flexibility that maintains the handle structure even under stress.
