Electroplating:

The electroplating process gives the blade its distinctive red color, using modern techniques to create a vibrant and durable surface layer. This is the only contemporary process employed, while all other forging methods remain traditional.

Tsuba:

The Tsuba, located above the saya, is ornamented and crafted through metal fusion. It serves to protect the user's hand from slipping onto the blade during practice.

The Habaki (Blade Collar):

The Habaki is a metal piece separating the blade from the scabbard. It has both aesthetic and functional purposes, ensuring the connection of both. Small scratches are normal due to use.

Hi:

The groove on the blade's spine is added to provide audible feedback during practice and make the sword lighter without compromising its stability and strength.
