Features

Clay-Tempered Folded Pattern Steel
Iteratively folded and forge-welded to create thousands of micro-layers, the blade is coated with specialized refractory clay and quenched to produce an authentic differential temper line (hamon). Every millimeter is finished through multi-stage hand polishing on traditional water stones.

Gilt Gold & Silver Solid Copper Scabbard
Unlike conventional lacquered wooden sheaths, the scabbard is hand-formed from solid heavy copper and embellished using classical gold gilding and silver plating techniques. The contrast between luminous gold, brilliant silver, and warm copper creates unmatched visual grandeur.

Antique-Finished Cast Brass Mountings
The tsuba, fuchi, kashira, and suspension mounts are cast in solid brass and aged to a classical patina, echoing centuries of imperial palace sword furniture.

Full Tang Handcrafted Construction
Forged with a continuous tang running through the entire hilt, ensuring authentic balance, structural stability, and enduring heirloom value.
