Blade:

The blade of this sword is hand-forged and polished through 12 different procedures using an ancient method. The steel used for the blade's content is highly pure carbon, ensuring a sharp and resistant blade.

Tsuba:

Located above the grip, the Tsuba of this sword is ornate 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 blade from the scabbard. It serves both aesthetic and functional purposes, ensuring the union of both parts. Minor 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 use and to make the sword lighter without compromising its stability and strength.

Menuki:

The Menuki are ornaments on the handle, one on each side, adding traditional aesthetic and functionality to the sword.
