Straight Japanese Sword

Arguably the best steel for sword making, the cutting edge is very hard, reliable and extremely sharp for battle purposes, along with good natural blade resilience one would expect from a high quality Samurai sword. 

Furthermore, the blade is genuine clay tempered. This ensures a clean, visibly defined tempered cutting edge with the core and spine of the blade left softer and more resilient. A technically advanced and difficult process to achieve.
