Features

Hand-Forged T10 High-Carbon Tool Steel Blade
Crafted from high-purity T10 carbon steel, celebrated among master sword smiths for its high wear resistance, exceptional edge-holding capability, and structural resilience under cutting stress.

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

Select Natural Solid Redwood Scabbard
Both the scabbard (Saya) and handle are hand-carved from select natural Redwood (Hongmu). The dense wood features a natural amber-crimson grain that is hand-polished to a soft, silky luster without thick synthetic lacquers.

Dual Solid Copper Mekugi Pins & Full Tang
The tang extends throughout the entire handle in the classical manner. Anchored securely with two solid copper mekugi retention pins, ensuring structural durability, balanced weight distribution, and handling safety.

FAQ

Why is T10 steel preferred for swords?
T10 is a premium high-carbon tool steel containing tungsten and silicon trace elements. When clay tempered, it achieves a very hard cutting edge (~60 HRC) while maintaining high toughness in the spine.

What are dual copper mekugi pins?
Mekugi are the cross-pins that anchor the sword tang inside the wooden handle. Using dual solid copper pins provides double reinforcement, preventing any handle play over years of handling.

Is the redwood natural?
Yes, the scabbard and handle are carved from genuine natural solid Redwood (Hongmu), polished by hand to reveal its authentic organic grain and warm luster.

Is this product suitable for display and practice?
Yes, its 1.23kg net weight provides excellent balance for martial arts forms, while its rich natural redwood grain makes it a prestigious executive centerpiece.
