Features

Hand-Forged Dense Twist Ladder-Pattern Damascus Steel Blade
The Victory Tachi blade is hand-forged using a specialized dense twist Damascus technique: multiple high-carbon steel rods are tightly twisted and forge-welded together at high temperature, then precision-ground to reveal a rich, tightly stacked ladder grain pattern running the full length of the blade. This technically demanding multi-step process yields a blade of exceptional visual impact, structural strength, and edge performance.

Differential Clay Tempering with Real Hamon
Clay tempered using classical Japanese techniques. The cutting edge is rapidly quenched to achieve superior hardness (~60 HRC), while the spine cools slowly to retain shock-absorbing elasticity, revealing an authentic, undulating natural Hamon along the blade.

Hand-Carved Pure Copper Gold & Silver Gilded Fittings
All fittings — including the tsuba (guard), habaki, fuchi, and kashira — are individually cast in pure copper and hand-carved by skilled artisans. Each piece is finished with traditional gold and silver dual-gilding, creating a layered, luminous dual-tone surface of extraordinary ceremonial richness.

Grand 120cm Long Tachi Format
At 120cm overall with a 72cm blade and 32cm long handle, the Victory Tachi commands presence as one of the largest formats in the collector Tachi category. The extended handle allows two-handed grip with full authority, while the refined 1.40kg net weight maintains exceptional balance throughout.

Full Tang Construction
The tang extends throughout the entire 32cm handle in the classical manner, anchored securely to ensure structural durability, balanced weight distribution, and handling safety.

Maintenance

Handle the blade with clean, dry hands whenever possible. After handling, remove fingerprints and moisture using a soft cloth to prevent rust on the Damascus steel.

Apply a light coat of appropriate sword maintenance oil every 2-3 months to protect the high-carbon steel blade from corrosion and enhance the visibility of the ladder grain pattern.

Keep the scabbard away from extreme humidity fluctuations, direct sunlight, and heat sources to preserve its finish and structural integrity.
