Daito Sword

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 Japanese sword-making technology and visibly identifiable on this Shinken sword blade. 

The beautiful, black opaque lacquered, hardwood scabbard, along with quality & practical sword fittings, complement the blue Katana handle nicely. And the hardwood, wrapped with real stingray-skin & quality cord form a traditional and effective Japanese Samurai handle grip. 

Premium quality and battle practical in its entirety, this Uchigatana Japanese long sword is worthy of valued personal collection, and is indisputably a balanced and versatile, functional Katana weapon.
