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, quality sword fittings, and a hardwood, wrapped with real leather & quality cord handle, forming a traditional, practical and effective Japanese Samurai handle grip.
