Additionally, the blade is made of T10 high carbon steel and has been laminated in a Maru structure with a clay temper line. Bo-hi (blood groove) is added to each side of the blade, which not only lightens the blade but also balances it for optimal performance. If you do not want the Bo-Hi, just let us know and we can customize it for you. A special clay is applied to the blade by hand, with 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 during quenching and tempering.

Two seppas spacers secure the Tsuba, and the Habaki (blade collar) is made of brass. The Saya (sheath) of the sword is hard wooden and lacquered black with high-quality paint for a glossy finish. The Sage-O is tied around the Kurikata (knob) of the saya, and the Koiguchi (scabbard mouth) and Kojiri (scabbard tip) have been hardened.

Please note: 1. The sword comes with a saya and free silk bag. 2. Box and stand are not included.

Other features include a fully hand-forged blade, full tang, a wooden tsuka wrapped with genuine ray skin and tied with real silk ITO, and Fuchi and kashira with Menuki on each side as an ornament. The blade is clay tempered with Hamon.
