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.
Completed with a beautiful hardwood, wrapped with real stingray-skin, practical bass sword-fittings, and a hardwood wrapped with real stingray-skin & quality leather cord handle, forming a traditional, practical and effective Japanese Samurai hand-grip.
This Uchigatana sword saber is sharp and deadly, and is executed with fine craftsmanship. It’s collectable, a pleasure to own and a formidable war sword to use.
