Progressive Cutting Test

The blade of JH-3301BK is the same as JH-3301RD.

The Katsu features a Forge Folded blade with a traditional shinogi-zukuri geometry. The design of the Katana has been inspired by the swords of the Japanese Warring States period. Swords from this period were designed to cut through armor and thus needed to have a strong, reinforced edge. Adding Niku was the solution to the blades being able to stand up to armor without breaking.

This blade features medium Niku, allowing for heavier and harder cutting. The Niku makes the blade thicker so the cuts will not be as swift and clean as a light cutter, but the the Ha will keep its cutting edge longer. The sword is appropriate for heavy Tameshigiri with tatami and bamboo.

Every Katsu has been wrapped by our Tsukamakishi and features alternating crossovers with hishigami.

Features

Blade: The blade of the sword has been forge folded with 1065 carbon steel and a 1040 carbon steel core. The blade features 4,000 layers of steel. The grain pattern is Ayasugi-hada at the Shinogiji with Itame-hada along the Ji and inside the hamon. The hamon has been authentically created with a Gunome pattern. The Nioi line of the hamon is very crisp with small Nie crystals running along the entire hamon. It has medium niku, which makes it a great moderate-to-heavy target cutter for tameshigiri.
The tip of the blade features a geometric Kissaki (medium length) with a Kaeri-Asashi temper line.
The blade is full tang and very sharp.
Saya: Saya has been lacquered black and has a glossy finish.
Tsuka: The Tsuba is blackened iron with two cut out flowers painted golden. The Fuchi and Kashira are also blackened iron. The Tsuka features double pinned Mekugi and brass Menuki. The Tsuka features genuine Same (ray skin) wits black chemical fiber Tsukamaki.
