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 lacquered hardwood scabbard, solid brass sword fittings – many of which are gilded with real gold & silver gilt, and a hardwood, wrapped with real stingray-skin & quality cord handle, forming a traditional, practical and effective Japanese Samurai handle grip.
This Uchigatana sword saber is sharp and deadly, and executed with fine craftsmanship. It’s collectable, a pleasure to own and a formidable war sword to use.
