Characteristics include a hard, reliable battle edge, which will hold its edge and stay sharp for longer than any other steel used for swordsmithing. Furthermore, the blade encapsulates good resilience and elasticity, as one would expect from any combat functional blade.
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 sword’s blade.
The lacquered floral print, hardwood scabbard and high quality sword fittings, complement the high contrast red & black Katana handle color very nicely. And the hardwood, wrapped with real stingray-skin & quality cord form a traditional and very effective Japanese Samurai handle grip.
Attention; while this sword’s blade shines like no-other, the shiny surface can be frayed & scratched easily if used or handled with carelessness. This does not affect the battle functionality of the sword, however the seemless high-shine aesthetic can be affected.
