Hand Forged Katana Sword with Traditional Quenching Process

The manufacture of knives and swords in China is a famous traditional craft that dates back more than 2500 years, representing ancient Chinese weapons. The manufacturing technology for knives and swords in China is very sophisticated. It typically involves steel selection, steel treatment, forging, cutting edge, quenching, and grinding processes before the final product is formed. Additionally, the production of knife handles, sheath Tan, and other knife assemblies requires another level of craftsmanship and decoration that is handled by specialized metalworkers.

Throughout history, the master craftsmen of knives and swords in China have had their own distinct factions, with some exclusively serving the shogunate. The process of manufacturing these weapons involves hot forging, cutting, hardening, grinding, heat treatment, and full tempering on the blade.

Martial arts swords in particular are made from high-performance carbon steel using a hand-polishing and grinding process, resulting in sharp cutting edges, high hardness, and toughness. Katanas, in particular, are handmade and provide a premium feel, with sharp blades that are easy to unsheathe. The specifications for these swords typically include a length of 102cm (40.5 inches), a blade length of 74cm (29.1 inches), a blade width of 3.2cm (1.25 inches), and a weight of 1.3kg. However, it's important to note that due to the handmade nature of these swords, there may be small variations in the measurements.

These swords are not only suitable for collection and cosplay, but also make excellent gifts for friends and anime fans. They can also be used as decorations or for role-playing and stage performances. It's important to note, however, that the sword stand or holder is not included in the purchase.
