The Yougan 溶岩 Katana is an exceptional piece for enthusiasts of traditional Japanese swords and for martial arts practitioners.

Blade (刀身): Forged in manganese steel, this mirror-polished blade shows a clean, modern look. Manganese steel is known for its wear resistance and robustness, making it a favoured choice for collectors looking for durability.

Guard (Tsuba 鍔): The carved iron guard is a tribute to the finesse of Japanese craftsmanship. Its design serves not only as a guard but also as a counterbalance, contributing to the handling of the katana.

Scabbard (Saya 鞘): The red lacquered saya with dark blue sageo gives the katana a noble, bold look. Lacquered wood is traditionally used for its strength and smooth appearance, protecting the blade when stored.

Handle (Tsuka 柄): Covered in genuine white ray skin, the tsuka offers a firm, comfortable grip. Ray skin, with its unique granular texture, is valued for its durability and resistance to moisture, which extends the life of the handle.

Menuki set: The copper ornaments add a touch of distinction without compromising the function of the handle.

Dimensions: With an overall length of 103 cm and a 72 cm blade, this katana has classic dimensions for authentic practice. Its weight of 1.2 kg with the saya gives it a good balance in the hand.

The Yougan Katana is therefore more than a display piece: it is an extension of the practitioner, reflecting their style and their mastery of the art of the Japanese sword.

Buying a sword in the UK

Sold only to adults aged 18 and over. Curved swords with a blade of 50 cm or more are hand-forged using traditional methods, as required by the Criminal Justice Act 1988 (Offensive Weapons) Order as amended in 2008.

Carrying a bladed article in a public place without good reason is an offence. Transport your sword wrapped, and only for a legitimate purpose (dojo, re-enactment, collection). Rules may differ in Scotland.

Care

Wipe the blade after every handling with a soft cloth; never touch it with bare fingers.
Apply a thin film of oil every few weeks to prevent rust.
Store it horizontally in its saya, edge up, away from damp.
Use only on suitable practice targets (rolled tatami mats, bamboo); never strike hard objects.
