The blade is fully hand-made in the most traditional Japanese craftsmanship way. It is fully hand-forged, hand-polished and hand-sharpened by our experienced smith.
The blade was made of T10 high carbon steel, and it has been laminated in a Maru structure with a clay temper line.
This blade has a shape in "Unokubi-Zukuri" style. There is one big Hi (blood groove) on each side which is from Habaki to the middle of the blade, the thickness on the back becomes thinner from the half of the blade towards the tip, but the back turns to thick near the KISSAKI (tip). This not only allows for a lighter blade and audible feedback when swung，but also can balance the blade to achieve optimal performance.
A special clay is applied to the blade by hand, using a thin covering near the edge and a thicker layer over the rest of the blade. This results in a relatively quicker cooling of the edge during quenching, producing a harder edge and softer back.The beautiful real hamon is also a result of the differential cooling of the blade (quenching and tempering).
The tip of the blade is a O- Kissaki (medium length), it is well defined with the hamon going all the way through the Bo-hi.The blade is in full-tang which greatly enhances the strength of the whole sword.
The blade is strong enough to cut a thick bamboo tree and sharp enough to slice paper.
This Tsuka is High Quality Ebony, the material of Ebony are well known for its hardness, two Mekugi (peg) are nailed to secure the Tang of the sword. (Sword can be disassembled by picking up the two Mekugi (peg)
This saya is also made of High Quality Ebony which is hard and tigetened.
