1-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.
2-This blade is made of folded steel and has folded 14 times to create the 4096 layers to increase the flexibility and hardness of the blade and a distinct texture is left on the blade as a result of the repeated folding during the process. The visible tenuous undulating grain on the blade was resulted from folded repeatedly during forging.
3-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).
4-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.
5-This tsuba (guard) of the sword is made of zinc alloy with two Seppas spacer securing it.. The Habaki (blade collar) is of brass composition
6-This Tsuka is wooden one wrapped with genuine ray skin, and tied with real silk ito in the traditional wrap.
