Features

Hand-Forged Folded Damascus Steel Blade
The Jinchuan Tachi blade is hand-forged from folded Damascus steel through repeated heating and folding, creating a distinctive layered grain pattern (hada) visible along the blade. This traditional process yields a blade of exceptional wear resistance, edge retention, and structural integrity.

Differential Clay Tempering with Real Hamon
Clay tempered using classical Japanese techniques. The cutting edge is rapidly quenched to achieve superior hardness (~60 HRC), while the spine cools slowly to retain shock-absorbing elasticity, revealing an authentic, undulating natural Hamon along the blade.

Antique Copper-Wrapped Solid Wood Scabbard
The scabbard (Saya) is crafted from solid wood and fully wrapped in pure copper sheet using traditional antique bronze craft techniques. The aged patina finish delivers a rich, regal aesthetic perfectly suited to the sword's imperial character.

Gold & Silver Gilded Pure Copper Fittings
All fittings — including the tsuba (guard), habaki, and menuki — are cast from pure copper and finished with traditional gold and silver gilding. This dual-tone gilding creates a luxurious imperial visual statement.

Full Tang Construction
The tang extends throughout the entire 28cm handle in the classical manner, anchored securely to ensure structural durability, balanced weight distribution, and handling safety.
