Blade:

The blade of this sword is hand-forged and polished with 12 different procedures using an ancient method. The steel used is extremely pure carbon, ensuring a sharp and durable blade.

Tsuba:

Located above the saya, the Tsuba of this sword is ornate and crafted through metal fusion. It protects the user's hand from sliding onto the blade during training practice.

The Habaki (Blade Collar):

The Habaki is a metal piece that separates the sword blade from the scabbard. It has an aesthetic and functional role, ensuring their connection. Small scratches are normal due to use.

Hi:

The groove on the opposite side of the blade's edge was added to provide audible feedback during practice and to make the sword lighter without compromising its stability and strength.
