Japanese Samurai Sword with Fully Hand Forged Damascus Steel, Clay Tempered Blade, and Straight Hamon

Experience the Excellence of the Folded Steel Katana:

Hand-polished to perfection by Ab Sword, this Japanese samurai sword katana is a masterpiece of craftsmanship. Its full tang blade, forged through a meticulous process, is a testament to the art of sword making.

Exceptional Blade Craftsmanship:

Crafted from folded steel with an astounding 8192 layers, this blade combines the perfect balance of flexibility and hardness. The mesmerizing undulating grain pattern on the blade is the result of painstaking repeated folding during forging.

Thoroughly refined and tempered, this blade is a testament to both artistry and functionality. A special clay application by skilled hands, with a thin covering near the edge and a thicker layer over the rest of the blade, ensures a quick cooling of the edge during quenching, producing a hard edge and a softer back.

The blade’s beautiful real hamon (temper line) further showcases its exceptional craftsmanship, stemming from the differential cooling during the quenching and tempering process.

Hand-polished with multiple-grade sharpening stones, the blade achieves a mirror-like surface finish.

The Chu-kissaki (medium-length tip) enhances both the blade’s aesthetics and functionality.

Elegant and Sturdy Design:

The round iron tsuba (guard) boasts fine finishing, while the one-piece brass habaki (blade collar) and two copper seppas (spacers) securely fasten the tsuba, providing stability and balance.

Crafted from iron, the fuchi (sleeve) and kashira (buttcap) add an elegant touch to the katana’s design.

The Tsuka (handle) features red genuine samegawa ray skin with tightly wrapped black chemical fiber ito using the hineri-maki method. Two bamboo mekugi (pegs) and two flower design menuki ornaments add to its allure.

The saya (sheath), constructed from hard wood, features a striking black and red high-gloss finish. A thick black and red synthetic sageo cord is securely tied around the saya.

This katana is well-crafted and well-assembled, making it an excellent choice for dojo students, thoughtful gifts, and stunning display pieces.
