Features

Special Folded Pattern Steel Blade with Heavy 8.0mm Spine
The blade is traditionally hand-forged from specialized folded pattern steel, displaying a mesmerizing undulating grain. Built with a robust 8.0mm blade thickness at the base, it offers exceptional structural rigidity, authentic cutting presence, and impressive visual weight.

Clay Tempered with Real Hamon
Differentially clay tempered by master smiths, rapidly quenching the cutting edge to achieve superior hardness while allowing the spine to cool slowly for shock absorption. This creates a distinct, naturally formed undulating Hamon temper line polished by hand using progressive natural waterstones.

Authentic Pure Copper Gold & Silver Plated Scabbard
The scabbard (Saya) is sculpted from authentic solid copper and electroplated with antique gold and silver accents. It provides unmatched durability, regal heft, and an imperial visual identity inspired by classical ceremonial court swords.

Hand-Carved Antique Copper Mountings
The Tsuba, collar, pommel, and Ashi hangers are sculpted from solid pure copper and treated with a rich antique patinated finish, ensuring structural durability and cohesive luxury presentation.

Full Tang Balanced Construction
The tang extends through the entire handle in the classical manner, fastened securely to ensure authentic weight distribution, balance, and lifelong structural integrity.
