Silver Katana Sword: Design and finishes
The Silver Katana sword evokes the nobility and brilliance of precious metal that characterizes this exceptional piece. This name refers to the silver reflections that run along the blade and the metal ornaments that adorn the mount. The term also suggests the purity and clarity of intention of the samurai, essential qualities in the art of bushido.
Its manganese steel blade features a black grilled finish that contrasts beautifully with the hamon visible along the edge. This differential tempering technique creates a striking visual effect while enhancing cutting properties. The rounded tsuba features a black and silver engraved dragon, a symbol of power and wisdom in Japanese tradition. The handle harmoniously combines solid wood and white imitation stingray skin, while the white braiding (tsuka-ito) forms diamond patterns that ensure a firm and elegant grip. The menuki represent black dragons, recalling the mystical power of these legendary creatures. The solid gray lacquered wooden saya is adorned with refined white details, complemented by a white sageo that emphasizes the aesthetic consistency of the whole.
This katana sword combines functionality and decorative beauty with a remarkable balance between the 72 cm blade and the 26 cm handle. The silver details of the fuchi, the kashira representing a samurai head, and the golden brass habaki create a sophisticated play of contrasts. This piece is ideal for collectors looking for a katana with exceptional finishes, as well as martial artists who appreciate the quality of craftsmanship. The dragon, omnipresent in the decoration, symbolizes spiritual transformation and self-control, fundamental values of the Japanese warrior.
