Iaito Katana Kogarashi Dragonfly Unsharpened Alloy Blade with Shinken‑Hi | KSA Ju

KSA “Ju” Series – Iaido Sword Kogarashi Dragonfly | Lightweight Alloy Iaito Blade | Black Iron Dragonfly Tsuba | Cupronickel Ajiro-Style Fuchi-Kashira | Gloss Black Saya

The Kogarashi Dragonfly is a refined Alloy Iaito, designed for disciplined iai practice with a focus on balance, control, and durability. The alloy blade provides consistent weight distribution and structural resilience, making it well-suited for repetitive kata training. Its smooth polish and subtle curvature reflect a restrained, functional aesthetic aligned with traditional practice. At the center, a black iron tsuba featuring a dragonfly motif symbolizes agility, precision, and unwavering forward motion—an enduring emblem in Japanese martial culture. The sword is fitted with cupronickel Ajiro-style fuchi-kashira (白铜缘头), offering a subtle woven-inspired texture that enhances both grip transition and visual depth. The material provides excellent corrosion resistance and a muted metallic tone, maintaining a clean and understated appearance. The tsuka is wrapped in brown ito over genuine black samegawa, delivering a secure and tactile grip. Paired with a matching brown sageo, the mounting achieves a warm tonal contrast against the otherwise dark composition. The gloss black lacquered saya completes the piece, presenting a smooth, reflective surface that reinforces the sword’s disciplined and minimal aesthetic. Balanced, durable, and visually composed, the Kogarashi Dragonfly is an ideal iaito for practitioners seeking both reliable performance and refined traditional character.
