Art Gladius Training Katana – Aluminium Blade & Leather Handle
Detailed Description and Features:
- Appearance: The katana features a classic, elegant design inspired by traditional Japanese swords. Its slightly curved aluminium blade has a polished finish. The simple, round guard (tsuba) and pommel are made from durable stainless steel, giving the weapon an authentic look and contributing to good balance.
- Handle (Tsuka): The handle is meticulously wrapped in quality burgundy-coloured leather, ensuring a firm and comfortable grip during practice sessions.
- Blade: The blade is crafted from lightweight yet robust aluminium. Importantly, it is blunt (edge thickness approx. 1.5 mm), guaranteeing maximum safety during handling and training. Aluminium excels as a material for training weapons due to its low weight, ease of maintenance, and resistance to corrosion. The total blade length is approximately 570 mm (plus a 20 mm tang extending into the handle).
- Scabbard (Saya): Included in the delivery is a wooden scabbard (saya) in a light natural wood colour, which serves to protect the blade. The scabbard is elegantly finished with a burgundy cord (sageo).
- Dimensions and Weight:
- Overall length: approx. 870 mm
- Katana weight: approx. 369 g
- Scabbard weight: approx. 242 g
