Cheness Yamakami SGC 9260 Spring Steel |
|
|
|
|
The Yamakami Katana shares the same blade as our Tsukikage Katana. Both swords uses the Cheness SGC blade design and is especially made for goza (tatami omote) cutting exercises.
The photos below shows the overall appearance of the blade in and out of the saya. This is a significantly broader sword with a narrower entry angle in its cutting edge.
Due to the nature of the geometry, the blade exhibits a hint of a pattern of how the quench affected different parts of the blade differently than the normal katana even though this is a through hardened blade.
The Yamakami uses a brown cotton ito wrapping with a blackened steel tsuba and an image of snow cap of Mt. Fuji. The steel used on this blade is the through hardened version of the Cheness 9260 Spring Steel.
The handle of this blade is slightly bigger than that of a standard katana. This is to compensate for the broader blade and nakago within the handle.
