The original color of this blade is blue, if you wipe with maintenance oilit will change to purple. When the oil dried, the color will be turn back to blue. The culture of Japanese sword. The sword/nihonto in Japan was called Katana. But according to the sword shape and size, there are Tachi swords, Katana, Wakizashi and short(Tanto) swords. The famous swords exsist with graceful outlooking as a weapon and some are also as arts and collections. Each Samurai warrior kept two swords on his person – a long sword/Katana, and a short sword/Wakizashi. These swords were his principal weapons gut they also were an expression of his class and personality. The Katana is more suitable for the Long distance, and the Wakizashi usually used in the short distance. Because of the length difference, the Wakizashi will take less time when you take the blade out of the saya. Share and study area. There are two kinds of martial arts which trained the use of the swords: Ken-do and Iai-do. Ken-do trains how to fight and the person being trained wears a protector and fights with a sword made of bamboo. The cross sectional shape of the grip of his bamboo sword is round. Iai-do teaches the skill of drawing a sword and striking with it. The cross sectional shape of the sword grip is oval. Iai-do teaches several techniques of how to respond in many different situations of combat. “Hagakure” (literally it is “the shadow of the leaves”) is a text of the Bushi, a class of the Samurais, which says, The way to be a Bushi is finding how to die. Loyalty and faith are most important. The Ken, or sword, is the spirit of the Bushi. To die for one’s lord and for Ken is for their honor. To be killed by the Ken is an honorable way to die. We sometimes got the question of people ask can the sword cut iron/wire? ” or “can the sword cut bone? It is not wise if you bought a Japanese sword which is sharpened to cut iron/wire, no matter how much your sword is, carbon steel or folded steel, clay tempered or not, that will make the edge of the sword turned or break down the blade. After that you will waste a lot of time to do the maintainence if that is still useful. What you see in the movie or video show that the sword can cut the hair with one breath;cut the iron/wire just like cut the mud, those are one-sided and exaggerated. They make the sword mythical. That is not impossible that there is no hurt or damage with the blade at all after Tameshigiri, just do the maintenance well. In the real life if that is in a fighting, the right way to stop the opponent is with the back of the blade but the cut edge, if you want to do a cutting test, you can cut the bamboo trees(fresh), tatami or slice paper to instead of cuttint the wire. We have the Chinese sword which can cut wire, if you are interested in, you can go and check in our store. The blade of that swords are usually very thick and heavy and sharpness is not so good as the Japanese swords. If you don’t like the original mountings, you can choose the favorite ones from the options. Handle wrapping cord and saya cord should be the same color. If you only want to change one of them to another color, please inform of it specially. We can engrave English words, Chinese Characters on the blade for free. We can add or remove the machine-made wavy hamon for free. Usually thought be used for bloodletting only. It is also used to lighten the weight of the sword. We can add or remove Bo-hi for free.

Craft: Hand forged, Water quenching treatment, traditional hand-polishing, etc. Simple Graceful Appearance, Its’s a functional sword. You can use it cut bamboo, paper, water bottles, tatami, etc. The steel we use is not the normal steel with the truck or cars or other life electrics, the steel use for the blade contents much more carbon and the purity can not be comparable. Handmade swords, each one may vary slightly in color, size, weight. Each sword is unique. Using the unique bright stone of Longquan Town, hand grinding, very test sword casting skills and technology, grinding out the pattern effect is special texture! Modern vacuum heat treatment can meet the hardness requirements of most swords, but the traditional quenching method has better effect, can soften the medium strip steel, and the hardness is higher. It’s free for engraving English words, Chinese Characters and Japanese Kanji, etc. Most of our blades are sharp. We can also make the blade unsharpened for free if you require. The price varies from different swords. We have our own sword-casting factory. The factory is located in Longquan, a small town with a long history of sword-casting in China. Most of the famous Swords in China are made there. Rich raw materials, skilled technology, traditional sword casting technology from generation to generation. Manual production really takes a lot of time. We hope to get your understanding. Each handmade sword is unique. Our swords are great for gifts or for your own collection. Our swordsmithing master makes every sword attentively, hope you can feel our sincerity. After the blade has been shaped, the sword would be quenched. We quench our swords in either water or oil. Water quenching produces a tougher edge which can also be hardened further more using clay. Blades quenched in oil are still considerably hardened and do have superior flexibility compared to a water quenched blade. In the forging process, the most useful process is the folding, where the metals are forge welded, folded, and welded again, as many as 124 times(15 times is the best). The folding removes impurities and helps even out the carbon content, while the alternating layers combine hardness with ductility to greatly enhance the toughness. The less impurities, the harder and sharper the blade will be. We have done cutting tests on the blades. It can cut bamboo(young bamboo tree), grass mattings and slice paper(The blade should be tilted at 45 degrees). To maximize both the cutting edge and the resilience of the sword spine, a technique of differential heat-treatment is used. The sword is painted with layers of clay before heating, providing a thin layer or none at all on the edge of the sword, ensuring quick cooling to maximize the hardening for the edge. A thicker layer of clay is applied to the rest of the blade, causing slower cooling. This creates softer, more resilient steel, allowing the blade to absorb shock without breaking. About 1095 carbon steel. The best quality of high carbon steel is at 1095, the carbon content was 1.03%, and the element contains a small amount of chromium, molybdenum, vanadium, after heat treatment can reach HRc58-60 hardness, toughness is very good, but not resistant to rust, more be applied to traditional european-style hunting knife, large cutting knife and military dao. Such as the United States during world war ii “KA – BAR” saber is in 1095 as the blade material. The vast majority of modern katana and wakizashi are the maru type which is the most basic, with the entire sword being composed of a single steel. The kobuse type is made using two steels, which are called hagane (edge steel) and shingane (core steel). Steel of different materials is forged and welded together to hammer the basic shape of the sword. This allows the overall blade to have a higher toughness and absorb a lot of impact. Reducing the possibility of breaking or bending to some extent. Makes the blade not only has high hardness, but also has super toughness.

The best quality of high carbon steel is T10, the carbon content was 1.03%, and the element contains a small amount of chromium, molybdenum, vanadium, after heat treatment can reach HRc 58-60 hardness. Toughness is very good, but it is not resistant to rust. It is applied to traditional european-style hunting knife, large cutting knife and military dao. Before being quenched, a special clay mixture can be applied onto the blade to harden the edge and obtain different hardness on the blade. The clay mixture was a special recipe and considered a crucial trade secret, guarded protectively by sword making masters. It would contain such things as feathers, powdered bones, grass, etc. And would be applied to the edge of the blade before being quenched. During quenching, a chemical reaction between the clay mixture and the hot steel occurs during the sudden temperature drop and carbon is fed into the blade in high amounts, creating an extremely tough edge. A clay hardened blade can only be quenched in water, thus increasing the defect rate even more. Another way for clay tempering is to apply clay along the blade but let edge exposed. Thus, while quenching the blade into water, the uncovered edge will cool down suddenly, but the rest of blade will cool down slowly. Such differential temperature change results in the different hardness of the blade. So the edge is tough enough to cut, where the back of blade is soft /flexible enough to absorb the impact during cutting. Such quenching process usually will leave beautiful wavy tempered line on the blade, as known as “hamon” in Japanese swords term. The polishing process is divided into two stages:Shitaji togi and Shiage togi. Shitaji togi is Foundation polishing, to correct any bends in the blade. Shiage togi is the stage that places the mirrorlike finish on a blade. This sword used Shiage togi, it is a elaborate process to the blade, it uses small grindstone to polish the blade by hand to make the blade mirrorlike, it is a time-consuming work, it can effectively increase the sword’s monetary, historic, artistic, and functional value. The Modern Style Polishing (Hadori Style Polishing). It is designed to highlight the aesthetics of the blade. In this style polishing, the hamon appears white against the black, shining steel and the mirror finished shinogi-ji. It is so aesthetic that it makes a blade perfect for display. The white pattern that looks like hamon is called “HADORI”. It is not a true hamon, but it is designed by polisher along the hamon to exaggerate it. When you look at the blade under a proper light, you can see the true hamon under the hadori. With the modern polishing style, you can see the blades with aesthetically “made-up face”. This polishing style was developed by a famous polisher in the early 20th century. If you don’t like the original mountings, you can choose the favorite ones from the options. Handle wrapping cord and saya cord should be the same color. If you only want to change one of them to another color, please inform of it specially. We can engrave English words, Chinese Characters on the blade for free. We can add or remove the machine-made wavy hamon for free. Usually thought be used for bloodletting only. It is also used to lighten the weight of the sword. We can add or remove Bo-hi for free. Most of our blades are sharp. We can also make the blade unsharpened for free if you require.
