Features
Folded Pattern Steel Blade
The blade is traditionally hand-forged from specialized folded high-carbon pattern steel. Repeated folding creates a mesmerizing, undulating layered grain while maximizing the steel's toughness and structural resilience.
Clay Tempered with Real Hamon
Differentially clay tempered by master smiths, cooling the edge rapidly to achieve high hardness while keeping the spine shock-absorbent. This traditional heat treatment forms a naturally developed, undulating Hamon temper line.
Full Tang Construction
The tang extends securely through the entire length of the handle, fastened in the traditional manner to ensure authentic balance and collector-grade structural integrity.
Antique Gold & Silver Plated Copper Fittings
The Tsuba, collar, pommel, and mountings are cast from pure solid copper with detailed dragon motifs, accented with antique dual-tone gold and silver plating.
High-Gloss Lacquered Hardwood Saya
The scabbard is crafted from select solid hardwood, finished with multiple layers of high-grade baked lacquer that protect the wood and create a mirror-smooth, elegant exterior.
