Features
Hand-Forged Crucible Wootz Steel Blade
The blade is traditionally hand-forged from crucible Wootz steel, renowned throughout metallurgical history for its unique crystalline carbon matrix and remarkable toughness. This ancient steel technology delivers an ideal balance of cutting hardness (~60 HRC) and structural resilience.
Clay Tempered with Real Hamon
Differentially clay tempered by master smiths, rapidly quenching the cutting edge to achieve high hardness while allowing the spine to cool slowly for shock absorption. This creates a distinct, naturally formed undulating Hamon temper line.
Natural Solid Black Ebony Wood Construction
Both the scabbard (Saya) and handle (Tsuka) are carved from matching billets of authentic high-density black ebony wood. The wood is hand-sanded and polished to highlight its deep, rich natural grain without thick synthetic lacquers.
Four-Point Genuine Natural Horn Mountings
To ensure structural durability and organic elegance, all four critical junctions (Koiguchi mouth, Kurikata, Tsuka collar, and Kashira pommel) are sculpted from genuine natural polished horn, preventing wood wear and stress fractures.
Full Tang Balance & Ultra-Lightweight 1.00kg Handling
The tang extends through the entire 25cm handle in the classical manner. With a total sheathed weight of 1.40kg and a net blade weight of exactly 1.00kg, this sword offers unmatched agility and swift, effortless transitions.
