Japanese Cavalry 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.

Completed with a hardwood, wrapped with pure-copper scabbard, along with brass sword fittings – with many decorations plated in real gold & silver, and a matching hardwood, wraped with pure-copper handle, forming a practical and effective Japanese Samurai handle grip.
