The most valuable part of any sword is its blade, with these spring steel sword blades certainly forming a very high quality core of these formidable Japanese straight swords.
High manganese steel, or spring steel, encapsulates both a high percentage of carbon & manganese, which both promote a hard, reliable cutting edge, along with the most desirable blade elasticity & resilience out of any other sword making steel. This means the blade is fully battle effective, sharp and importantly, you can be sure the blade and the edge will survive even the most violent combat.
The beautiful matching wood scabbard & handle material close seamlessly together, forming basically what would pass as a stick, which is archetypal of the Shikomizue sword design.
Very clean, practical and a real pleasure to own and use.
