The steel is handforged and claytempered. The differential hardening will cause a harder edge and softer body.
The created gunome Hamon is appearing due to the hand polishing and partly this blade is machined polished.
This blade has no Bo-Hi so it is solid and it will create more power while cutting a target. Also the blade will experience less resistance hitting a target and the cuts will be very clean with the right technique.
The Tsuka is covered with real black same (rayskin) and wrapped with Japanese Silk. For safety the tsuka has bamboo pins (mekugi).
The katana features a blackened iron Kiku Tsuba with traditional characteristics.
The Blossom Menuki fits the tsuba perfectly.
The Kasira and Fuchi are also made of blackened iron and match the Kiku Tsuba.
The excellent blackened saya includes a nice Japanese Silk Sageo.
Of course this katana comes with a nice sword bag.
