What Does White Jade (Bai Yu) Mean?
White Jade (Bai Yu) is the most prized form of jade in Chinese culture — its pure white color associated with heaven, purity, and the highest moral qualities. The finest white jade has a warm, creamy white color that seems to glow from within. White jade was used for the most important ritual objects in Chinese history — the jade bi discs that connected heaven and earth, and the jade seals of imperial authority. This katana carries that name as a statement of purity, refinement, and excellence.
1065 Carbon Steel — Oil Quenched and Tempered
The 1065 carbon steel blade undergoes oil quenching and tempering — a heat treatment process that achieves the ideal balance of hardness and toughness. Oil quenching cools the blade more slowly than water quenching, reducing the risk of warping and cracking while achieving battle-ready hardness. The result is a sharpened, battle-ready edge suitable for martial arts practice and serious collection.
