Materials And Way Of Forge:

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.

The blade was made of 1095 high carbon steel, and it has been laminated in a Maru style with a clay temper line. 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).

This blade has a shape in “Kogarasu-maru” style, it is the nickname of one very famous sword in that style There are two Hi on each side, one is longer and shallow which is from habaki to kissaki, one is shorter and deep which is from habaki to the middle of the blade, This not only allows for a lighter blade and audible feedback when swung. but also can balance the blade to achieve optimal performance.

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.

Tsuba:The Tsuba (guard) of the sword was made of brass, The Habiki (blade collar) is a one piece brass construction. Two Seppas (spacer) secure the Tsuba.

Tsuka: The Tsuka (handle) core is wooden and it is tightly wrapped over genuine Ray skin Samegawa with a black 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.

Saya: The saya (sheath) of the sword is hard wooden with a white high gloss finish. A black cord Sage-O has been tied around the bright copper Kurigaga (knob) of the scabbard. the Koiguchi has been hardened.

This is a sharpened, super, truly battle ready Samurai sword very suitable for iaido and kendo superior. it is also allows you to make a collection of realistic, yet beautiful samurai sword, or to present one to your friend. Don’t miss such a chance!
