1&This katana sword is hand  forged and hand sharpened using Japanese methods to create a perfect  blade. Fully functional and battle ready. The accessories of the  sword are all authentic from the ray skin handle, to silk sage-o and  copper oxidized fittings. This is the best sword you will find in  the price range.

2&Blade: The blade of  the sword has been hand forged using the ancient method of sword  making. Full hand forged, hand polished and hand sharpened.

3&The blade was made of folded steel. AISI 1060 High Carbon Steel are  folded 13 times creating 8192 layers for superior strength and  flexibility. the visible tenuous undulating grain on the blade was  resulted from folded repeatedly during forging.

4&The steel has been  throughly refined and tempered, 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 hard edge  and softer back. the beautiful real hamon on the blade is also  result of the differential cooling of the blade (quenching and  tempering).

5&This blade has been hand polished with multiple grade sharpen stone  by Japanese method, which made the surface of the blade like a  mirror, the blade is also very sharp.The tip of the blade is a Chu Kissaki (medium length), it is well  defined with the hamon going all the way through the Boshi.

6&This blade comes with a full length Tang which greatly enhances the  strength of the sword. this sword is strong enough to cut through a  thick bamboo tree with a single strike yet sharp enough to slice  paper.

7&Tsuba: The Tsuba  (guard) of the sword is made of brass. The Habaki (blade collar) is  a one piece brass construction. Two Seppas (spacer) secure the Tsuba.

8&Tsuka:   The Tsuka (handle) core is wooden and it is tightly wrapped over  genuine Ray skin Samegawa with synthetic silk Ito. The Fuchi  (sleeve) and Kashira (buttcap) are made of brass. The Tang of the  sword is secured by two Mekugi (peg) . Two copper Menuki (ornament)  are on each side of the Tsuka.
