Tachi Japanese Sword

The process and technique is renowned for smithing the finest combat sword blades, and certainly forms a unique, and very lethal foundational core to this true sword saber.

Further promoting perfection, is the very difficult process of clay-tempering the blade. This process precisely facilitates hardening of the blade’s edge, while leaving the blade’s core and spine softer and thus resilient. Definitely a marker of advanced sword-making technology and visibly identifiable on this Shinken sword blade.

Tastefully completed with a hardwood, wrapped with real stingray-skin scabbard, along with solid brass fittings, and a hardwood, wrapped with genuine stingray-skin & quality cord handle, forming a traditional, practical and effective Japanese Samurai hand-grip.
