Features
Hand-Forged Crucible Wootz Steel Blade
The blade is traditionally hand-forged from crucible Wootz steel, renowned throughout metallurgical history for its unique crystalline carbon matrix and remarkable toughness. This delivers an ideal balance of cutting hardness and structural resilience.
Clay Tempered with Real Hamon
Differentially clay tempered by master smiths, rapidly quenching the cutting edge to achieve approx. 60 HRC hardness while allowing the spine to cool slowly for shock absorption. This forms an authentic natural Hamon temper line.
Hand-Carved Pure Solid Copper Buddha Mountings
The Tsuba, Habaki, Fuchi, and Kashira are cast and intricately carved from solid pure copper, depicting serene Buddhist iconography that symbolizes inner peace, clarity, and protection.
Dimensional 3D Golden Dragon Lacquered Saya
The scabbard is crafted from select solid hardwood, treated with a specialized baked lacquer technique that creates a tactile, dimensional 3D golden dragon motif.
Full Tang Balance & Lightweight Agility
The tang extends through the entire 23cm handle in the traditional manner. With a total sheathed weight of just 1.38kg (1.10kg net blade weight), this sword offers extraordinary handling speed.
