Features
T10 Carbon Steel Blade
The blade is crafted from T10 carbon steel and finished according to our workshop’s traditional production process, ensuring a highly durable and sharp edge.
Clay Tempered & Distinctive Hamon
The blade is clay tempered to create specialized heat-treatment characteristics. Each Hamon is individually developed during this process and through careful finishing. Natural differences between blades are a celebrated part of the character of handmade production.
Full Tang Construction
Built for rigorous use and authentic feel, the tang extends entirely through the handle according to the specified traditional construction.
Gold & Silver Plated Tsuba & Genuine Rayskin
The Tsuba (guard) features beautiful gold and silver plating (gilding), offering a luxurious touch. Genuine rayskin is used on the Tsuka to provide traditional-inspired texture and visual character. It is paired with a Saya that is individually assembled and hand-finished to perfectly complement the blade and fittings.
