Features
Folded Pattern Steel Blade
The blade is traditionally hand-forged from folded high-carbon pattern steel. Repeated folding creates a mesmerizing, kinetic grain pattern that purifies the steel and enhances structural toughness.
Clay Tempered with Real Hamon
Differentially clay tempered using traditional Japanese methods. The cutting edge is rapidly quenched to achieve high hardness and superior edge retention, while the spine cools slower to retain shock-absorbing resilience, creating a distinct natural Hamon.
Natural Hardwood Octagonal Construction
Both the scabbard (Saya) and handle (Tsuka) are carved from matching billets of select natural solid hardwood. The natural wood grain is preserved without heavy coatings, providing a solid, tactile, wear-resistant grip with faceted octagonal indexing.
Full Tang Monolithic Durability
The tang extends securely through the handle in the classical manner, fastened to provide rock-solid structural stability and intuitive point control during forms.
