Blade

– The blade of the sword has been hand forged using the ancient method of sword making. Full hand-forged and fully hand-polished in the traditional Japanese way.

-The blade was made of  T-10 steel, differentially hardened and clay-tempered, water-quenched, and polished.

-This blade has been tried and tested to cut everything that gets in its way. The Sori (Blade curvature) is specially crafted to create leverage in order to perform the smoothest and cleanest cuts. That, in combination with the choice of traditional and our top-selling Koshirae (fittings), assures that you will get the best of both appearance and functionality.

-The choji hamon pattern is done in the same process as the traditional method. Hardening the edge is done by using special clay to wrap the blade, then put in oil to quench. It requires a lot of skill. 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.

-This blade comes with a full-length tang, which greatly enhances the strength of the sword. The tip of the blade is a shaped shinogi-zukuri, and with chu kissaki and real yokoto, it was well defined, with the hamon going all the way through the Boshi.
