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 Chu Kissaki (medium  length). it was well defined with the hamon going all the way through  the Boshi.
