Features

Hand-Forged Folded Damascus Steel Blade
The Chrysanthemum Tachi blade is hand-forged from folded Damascus steel through repeated heating and folding, creating a distinctive layered grain pattern (hada) visible along the blade. This traditional process yields a blade of exceptional wear resistance, edge retention, and structural integrity.

Differential Clay Tempering with Real Hamon
Clay tempered using classical Japanese techniques. The cutting edge is rapidly quenched to achieve superior hardness (~60 HRC), while the spine cools slowly to retain shock-absorbing elasticity, revealing an authentic, undulating natural Hamon along the blade.

Premium Black Ebony Wood Scabbard
The scabbard (Saya) and handle are crafted from select premium-grade natural black ebony wood, hand-sanded and polished to reveal its deep, rich midnight-black grain without heavy synthetic lacquers. The result is a warm, tactile organic surface of extraordinary natural beauty.

Pure Copper Chrysanthemum Fittings
All fittings — including the tsuba (guard), habaki, and menuki — are cast from pure copper and finished with a classical chrysanthemum floral motif. The chrysanthemum is the imperial seal of Japan, evoking nobility, longevity, and cultural heritage.

Full Tang Construction
The tang extends throughout the entire 25cm handle in the classical manner, anchored securely to ensure structural durability, balanced weight distribution, and handling safety.
