The Katana Orochi 大蛇 is a piece of excellence, shaped with a mastery that respects the heritage of the old master swordsmiths.

Blade (刀身): T10 steel, known for its high carbon content, is forged with care to produce a flame-like hamon, the sign of selective hardening and optimal hardness. The mirror polish is more than aesthetic: it reflects the quality of the steel and its ability to cut precisely.

Guard (tsuba 鍔): The sculpted, gilded pure copper tsuba is a work of art in itself, adding a touch of opulence and a sturdy barrier for the fingers. Copper is chosen for its malleability and its patina, which improve with time, as well as for its weight, which balances the blade.

Scabbard (saya 鞘): Ebony, chosen for its density and durability, protects the blade effectively. The bull-horn kurigata adds a note of exclusivity, while its strength ensures the sageo is held perfectly.

Handle (tsuka 柄): The genuine rayskin leather gives the handle a non-slip texture, essential for safe handling of the katana. The gilded copper menuki provide a striking visual contrast and also improve grip.

The two bamboo mekugi ensure the structural integrity of the katana and allow traditional disassembly and maintenance. The Katana Orochi 大蛇 embodies power and elegance, and is destined to become the treasure of any collector or serious practitioner.

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.
