Features

Hand-Forged Hundred-Fold Clay Tempered Folded Pattern Steel Blade
The Brass Fitted Black Ebony Tachi blade is hand-forged from hundred-fold folded pattern steel — produced by repeatedly forge-welding and folding high-carbon steel billets to refine the grain structure and produce a complex, layered surface pattern unique to every blade. Differentially clay tempered to achieve a hard ~60 HRC cutting edge and a resilient, shock-absorbing spine, then quenched to lock in the natural Hamon temper line.

13-Stage Hand-Polishing
Following clay tempering, the blade undergoes a rigorous 13-stage hand-polishing process on traditional Japanese waterstones. Each stage uses progressively finer grit to remove forge scale, refine the folded grain pattern, and reveal the Hamon temper line in full clarity. The result is a blade surface of exceptional visual refinement and collector-grade quality.

Authentic Black Ebony Scabbard
The scabbard (Saya) is crafted from authentic black ebony — one of the densest, hardest, and most visually prestigious natural woods in the world. Its deep near-black tone and fine grain provide a commanding backdrop that allows the blade and brass fittings to command full visual attention and reveal their full character.

Antique Full Brass Fittings
All sword hardware — tsuba (guard), habaki, fuchi, kashira, and kojiri — is cast in full brass and finished with an antique patina treatment. The warm golden luster of the brass fittings creates a striking contrast against the deep black of the ebony scabbard, producing a color combination with centuries of classical Japanese aesthetic precedent.

Full Tang Construction
The tang extends throughout the full 25cm handle length in the classical manner, anchored securely to ensure structural durability, authentic weight distribution, and the balance characteristics of a traditionally made Japanese tachi.

Maintenance

Handle the blade with clean, dry hands whenever possible. After handling, remove fingerprints and moisture using a soft cloth to prevent rust on the hundred-fold folded pattern steel.

Apply a light coat of appropriate sword maintenance oil every 2-3 months to protect the blade from corrosion and preserve the full clarity of the 13-stage polished Hamon line.

Keep the black ebony scabbard away from extreme humidity fluctuations and heat sources to preserve the wood's deep finish, dimensional stability, and structural integrity long-term.

FAQ

What is hundred-fold folded pattern steel?
Hundred-fold folded steel is produced by repeatedly forge-welding and folding a high-carbon steel billet, with each fold refining the grain structure and producing a complex layered surface pattern. Combined with clay tempering, it yields a blade of superior visual character, balanced edge hardness, and spine resilience.

Why is black ebony considered a premium scabbard material?
Black ebony is among the densest, hardest, and most visually striking natural woods in the world. Its near-black color, fine grain, and natural luster make it one of the most prestigious materials in sword scabbards, musical instruments, and luxury craft objects.

Is this sword handmade?
Yes. Hundred-fold forging, clay tempering, 13-stage waterstone polishing, ebony scabbard preparation, and brass fitting installation are all completed by experienced artisans.
