Item Specs

Katanas have been said to be one of the greatest swords ever created. This is ironic since Japan has such poor materials for making swords. The iron of Japan is inferior by most standards and there is a relatively small amount to be found on the island. These factors meant that when a sword was to be made it had to be of the best quality. The sword smiths would labor over the sword and many believed that part of the smiths soul became a part of the sword.

This Katana was hand forged and crafted authentically in all aspects of its creation. All the fittings and parts are genuine material. The balance of the blade is perfect and the sword is completely functional. This is a masterpiece of recreating the ancient Katana.

The Katana includes: A wooden collectors box, Sword Bag, and Certificate of Authenticity.

Features

Attributes of the Weapon:
Blade: The blade of the sword has been constructed from 1060 High Carbon steel in a Maru Lamination. In accordance with Japanese tradition, the blade has been treated with a clay covering, applied to the entire sword except the cutting edge. The blade is then heated and quenched in spring water. The combination of the quenching and the clay cover creates a significant temperature difference in the Ha of the blade and the rest of the sword.
The result is that the Ha cools much more quickly than the rest of the blade, the molecules of the Cutting edge expand and push back the softer steel of the blade creating the traditional Japanese curve. The clay covering technique also results in a difference in hardness of the blade, with the Yakiba having a 58 degree hardness and the Shinogi having a 45 degree hardness. This difference insures that the blade is both extremely hard yet flexible.
The blade features a flat ridge line, Bo-Hi and O-Kisske. The tang of the sword has been dated and given a serial number to prove authenticity.
Saya: The Saya has been constructed from wood with a dull gloss black lacquer finish. A Japanese landscape has been richly painted across the scabbard. A black silk Sage-o has been tied around the bright copper Kurigata. The Koi-guchi is bull horn.
Tsuba: The Habaki is a one piece brass construction over a brass Seppa. The Tsuba has also been constructed of brass in a complex pattern of an Eagle hunting two birds. The Eagle has been plated in gold and silver. An additional Seppa rests behind the Tsuba to secure the tang of the sword in the Tsuka.
Tsuka: The Tsuka core is wooden with a Ray Skin Same wrapped over the wood. A black silk Ito has been wrapped over the Same. Two bamboo Mekugi secure the tang in the Tsuka. The Menuki are two Gold and Silver Plated Eagles on each side of the Tsuka. The Kashira is another Eagle.
