This unusual design is found on no other Japanese sword, making the Kogarasumaru truly one of a kind. According to legend, it was forged by Amakuni, the legendary swordsmith said to have invented the curved Japanese sword, and gifted by the sun goddess Amaterasu to the Taira clan as a symbol of divine favor and martial authority. The Taira clan used it as their clan treasure for generations, until it eventually passed into the possession of the Japanese Imperial family, where it remains today as a national treasure. The Kokarasuma is inspired by this extraordinary legacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eT10 Carbon Steel — One of the Finest Blade Steels\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eT10 carbon steel (approximately 1.0% carbon content) is one of the finest steels for sword-making — its high carbon content providing exceptional hardness and edge retention. T10 is the steel of choice for premium Japanese-style swords, offering performance that approaches the legendary tamahagane steel of traditional Japanese swordsmithing. The T10 blade is hand sharpened and full tang — a functional sword as well as a collector piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBurnt Blade Finish — The Aged Appearance of a Legendary Sword\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe burnt blade finish creates a distinctive dark, textured surface that evokes the aged, battle-worn appearance of a legendary sword that has passed through centuries of history.
