This set includes three matching swords: a Katana, a Wakizashi, and a Tanto, all featuring full tang clay-tempered Damascus folded steel blades. The blades are crafted from 1060 carbon steel, folded 13 times to create 8,192 layers, resulting in a stunning, visible layered pattern on the blade. This unique folding process not only enhances the blade’s visual appeal but also increases its flexibility. The clay tempering process involves coating parts of the blade with clay to control cooling during heat treatment, creating a distinct temper line, known as the hamon, which showcases the contrast between the hard and soft steel. This method ensures the blade is both durable and flexible, offering excellent strength and resilience. The hamon design can also be customized based on provided specifications or images.
The swords feature a Chu Kissaki (medium-length) tip and a SHINOGI-ZUKURI shape, with the hamon extending through the Boshi. The blades are UNOKUBI-ZUKURI style, with dual bo-hi on each side for weight reduction and improved balance. These blades are strong enough to cut through bamboo, small trees, straw mats, or even slice paper effortlessly. The dragon-themed fittings, including the tsuba (guard), kashira, fuchi, and menuki, are crafted from premium brass. The tsuba is securely held in place by two seppas (spacers), and the tang is fastened with two bamboo mekugi (pegs).
The tsuka (handle) features a wooden core, wrapped tightly with genuine ray skin (samegawa) and black silk ito in the katate-maki (battle wrap) style, ensuring a secure and comfortable grip. The saya (sheath) is made from durable hualee wood, adding to the overall elegance and functionality of the sword set.
