Key Features:
Tamahagane Steel Full Tang Blade with Real Hamon:
The blade of this katana is crafted from Tamahagane steel, a traditional Japanese steel made from iron sand, known for its high carbon content and exceptional quality. The blade is hand-sharpened to achieve a razor-sharp edge, and clay tempered—a process involving the application of clay to the blade before heating and quenching—to create a beautiful hamon, the distinctive pattern along the edge of the blade. This process not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the blade but also improves its hardness and flexibility.
Yellow Handle with Real White Samegawa:
The handle of this katana is decorated with real white samegawa (rayskin), which provides an excellent grip and a unique texture. The handle is wrapped in yellow cord using a special technique known as knot paper wraps, which involves wrapping the handle with paper knots to create a decorative pattern and to secure the cord wrapping. This intricate wrapping technique not only enhances the visual appeal of the handle but also provides a comfortable and secure grip.
Black Hardwood Saya with Premium Natural Lacquer:
The saya is made of hardwood and coated with a premium natural lacquer in a black hue. The lacquer not only enhances the visual appeal of the saya but also protects the wood from moisture and other environmental factors. The combination of hardwood and natural lacquer ensures that the saya is both durable and aesthetically pleasing.
Copper Tsuba:
The tsuba of this katana is made of copper and is hand-carved with intricate details. The copper material not only adds a touch of elegance to the sword but also provides a sturdy and durable hand guard. The hand-carved design of the tsuba showcases the skill and artistry of the craftsman, making it a unique and valuable addition to the sword.
This handmade full-tang katana sword, crafted with a Tamahagane steel blade, real white samegawa and yellow cord wrapped handle using knot paper wraps technology, hardwood saya with premium natural lacquer, and hand-carved copper tsuba, is a true work of art. It is not just a weapon, but a symbol of the samurai spirit, a testament to the skill of the craftsman, and a valuable addition to any collection.
- Tamahagane steel blade, black scabbard, copper tsuba, yellow cord handle with white ray-skin wrap.
- The blade is made of iron sand and charcoal (carbon) called tamahagane, or jewel steel, strictly following the traditional japanese method. these two materials are smelted in a tatara furnace. the iron and carbon elements fuse together into the steel ore known as tamahagane. after this process, the high and low carbon pieces are sorted and forged. like a traditional samurai sword, the high carbon pieces will be used to make the powerful cutting edge and core, and the tough low carbon pieces are used to encase the high carbon core.
- After careful forging, the blade is clay tempered to create the natural hamon. hazuya and jizuya stones are used to bring out the hamon line and grain pattern. final polishing is done to enhance all of the details on the blade, giving it a beautiful, shining appearance. the blade is painstakingly worked on section by section, using wafer-thin slices cut from the main stones. the sword is strong enough for cutting thick bamboo, small trees, bones, iron and copper wire. it is a highly recommended sword for serious collectors.
