Damascus Steel Clay Tempered Blade Dragon Koshirae&Engraving Japanese Samurai Sword KATANA

This sword is made of damascus folded steel, clay tempered with a polished mirror-like surface. It is a very strong sword made with traditional methods, for multiple applications. The blade has been repeatedly heat treated and hand forged to remove impurities. The clay temper process combines the characters of toughness and flexibility and results in a genuine hamon (temper line). The blade is full tang. The combination of the quenching and the clay cover creates a significant temperature difference in the Ha of the blade and the rest of the sword. The hamon is authentic all the way up to the tip. The blade has two long Hi on each side, This not only allows for a lighter blade and audible feedback when swung. but also can balance the blade to achieve optimal performance. It is strong enough to cut through a thick bamboo tree. The Habaki is a single piece brass construction fitted over a copper Seppa. The Tsuba itself is brass with dragon design. Another Seppa secures the Tsuba to the Tsuka of the sword. The Tsuka is wood laid over the tang of the blade. Wrapped over the wood is a white ray skin Same, and traditional Japanese style katate-maki(battle wrap) black synthetic silk wrapped handle with real white lacquered samegawa, two bamboo mekugi secures the tang to the Tsuka. A dragon design brass menuki is found on each side of the handle. The saya(sheath) of the sword is wooden with a black high gloss finished and the saya has been hand craved a dragon pattern. Black synthetic Sage-O has been tied around the bright copper Kurigaga (knob) of the scabbard. the Koiguchi has been hardened.
