The fire temperature can not be too high or too low; it needs to be well controlled by the sword smith. The blade is then put into oil for quenching. The blade shape is done; this process creates beautiful hamon hada and Martensite (grains) on the blade surface. clay to protect the edge, and quenched in oil to temper the mune or spine of the sword. The hardness of the Carbon Steel measures at an impressive HRC on the Rockwell Scale. The perfect combination of the hardness of the edge steel and the increased Sori (curvature of the blade) enables this high-quality blade to easily cut through tatami straw mats or bamboo for Tameshigiri.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e-This blade comes with a full-length tang, which greatly enhances the strength of the sword.
