The process and technique is renowned for smithing the finest combat sword blades, and certainly forms a very lethal foundational core to this true Odachi 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.
Beautifully completed with an illustrated copper scabbard – a work of art within itself, along with pure copper fittings, and a hardwood, wrapped with copper handle – all of which are illustrated with artworks, plated in real gold & silver.
