Blade:

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

Tsuba:

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

The Habaki (Blade Collar):

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

Hi:

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