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 beautiful, hardwood, wrapped with stingray-skin scabbard, along with brass sword fittings – many of which are gilded in real gold & silver gilt, and equipped with a hardwood, wrapped with genuine stingray-skin & quality cord handle, forming a traditional and very effective Japanese Samurai handle grip.
This Uchigatana sword is deadly, and is executed with a simple and classic, dark sword aesthetic. It’s collectable, a pleasure to own and a formidable close quarters combat Katana to use.
