ThisKatana—One of Japanese Quintessence, is the product of worldwide unique specific forging craft. Obedience to Japanese traditional work craft, we produce katana and swords in different series, different style, and different usage.
This KATANA is 100% hand-forged and hand-sharpened according to the Japanese traditional forging methods. Our differentially hardened carbon steel blades have been heat-treated, sharpened, and well-balanced. The blade is constructed from high quality carbon steel, carefully hand beaten into shape, forged, quenched before being polished by hand to a mirror sheen.

Hand Forged Folded Steel

When creating this work of art the craftsman must use all of his skill and truly feel the steel to bring out its inner beauty and strength. Constructing such a blade would begin by forging and folding 1060 carbon steel together 11 times. This process is carried out until there are up to 2048 layers, creating a beautiful grain like patterns in the steel. By folding the steel in different ways, a sword making master can actually control the patterns in the steel to create different appearances.

The reason for using the fold forging method was to transform iron into high quality steel, removing the impurities and amalgamating the soft and hard characteristics of the steel. This creates a strong yet flexible blade that can withstand duress.

After being forged folded by hand, the new blade is arduously hand-polished and sharpened simultaneously with different grades of stones to bring out the beautiful patterns caused by the folding layers of steels.

Full Tang
While it is common to find swords which have a rat tail tang (two pieces welded together), a thin tang or even no tang at all, all of our Japanese swords have a thick tang running from the blade to the full length of the handle.

BLADE: Folded steel, high carbon steel. The carbon steel with this blade is also called T10 here. The blade has been polished with 10 procedures with ancient method.

HABAKI(blade collar):is a one piece brass construction,there is engraving on the habaki of this sword. the main point of the habaki is to make the saya tight to the blade,so it is normal if there is scratch on.

SEPPAS(spacer):Two Seppas secure the Tsuba( if the tsuba is not so tight after a long time,you can disassemble the sword and put more seppas there.

HANDLE: Wide on the 2 ends,thin in the middle; Hardwood wrapped with black silk ito. Fuchi&Kashira on the 2 ends of the handle.

SAGEO: Used to tie the sword on your waist as a belt in the old time,but now we usually tie on the saya as in the picture.

SAYA(scabbard): The saya (sheath) of the sword is made of hardwood .tied with Sageo on the Kurigaga (knob) of the scabbard.

BO-Hi:Usually Bo-hi added to the blade is to lighten it and provide audible response when swung.it is called Blood-Groove sometimes. This sword has bo-hi.

Full Tang:
While it is common to find swords which have a rat tail tang (two pieces welded together), a thin tang or even no tang at all, all of our Japanese swords have a thick tang running from the blade to the full length of the handle.

NOTE:

(1) A silk sword bag comes with the sword. but the wooden stand in below item pictures is NOT included.

(2) if you need one wooden stand, please contact me, we will give you it for free, we hope you just provide us with the additional $12 for shipping.
