Features

100-Refined Twisted Dense Ladder Pattern Damascus Steel
The blade is forged by repeatedly folding, forge-welding, and precision-twisting high-carbon steel billets to produce a dense, finely grouped "ladder pattern" (Tieti Wen). This demanding metallurgical technique creates distinct, ladder-like cross-rungs across the blade, maximizing visual depth and shock resilience.

Tokugawa Shogunate Heraldic Metalwork
The mountings are cast and hand-carved from solid pure copper, embellished with antique dual-tone gold and silver plating. Inspired by ceremonial court swords worn by daimyo lords during audience with the Tokugawa shogun.

Authentic All-Copper Antique Gold Plated Scabbard
Unlike standard wooden lacquered scabbards, this Tachi features an authentic all-copper scabbard (Saya) treated with antique gold electroplating. It provides unmatched durability, regal heft, and an imperial visual identity inspired by classical ceremonial court swords.

Full Tang Extended 32cm Handle Construction
The tang extends through the entire 32cm handle in the classical manner. This extended grip provides powerful two-handed leverage, effortless counterbalance against the 72cm blade, and lifelong structural integrity.
