Blade:

The blade of this sword is hand-forged and polished with 12 different procedures using an ancient method. The steel used for the blade is T10 of extreme purity, ensuring a sharp and durable edge.

Electroplating:

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

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 training.

The Habaki (Blade Collar):

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

Hi:

The groove on the blade’s non-cutting side was added to provide audible feedback during use and make the sword lighter without compromising its stability and strength.
