Blade: 

--The Blade Of The Sword Has Been Hand Forged Using The Ancient  Method Of Sword Making . Full Hand Forged And Full Hand Polished.

-The Blade Was Made Of L6 Folded Steel, Differential Hardened And Clay  Tempered, Water Quenched And Polished. 

- The Blade With Full Bo-Hi (Blood Groove) On Each Side And Shaped  Shinogi-Zukuri. This Blade Has Been Hand Polished With Multiple Grade Sharpen  Stone By Japanese Method, Which Made The Surface Of The Blade Like A Mirror, The  Blade Is Also Razor Sharp. 

-The Blade Can Customize Without A Bo-Hi (Blood Groove) In The Genuine  Traditionally Forged Folded Steel. This Means That The Hand-Fired Carbon Steel  Is Folded A Full 10 Times To Produce 1024 Layers. The Higher Quantity Of Layers  Provides More Unique And Mystical Lines Patterns, Which Defines And Displays The  Craftsman’s Experience And Knowledge Of Traditional Metallurgy Passed Down From  Generation To Generation. Only The Utmost Skilled Bladesmiths And Polishers Can  Bring Out The Beauty Blade. During The Forging Process, All Of The Slags And  Impurities Of The Carbon Steel Are Burned Off And Forged Folded To An  Uncompromised Strength With An Very Sharp Cutting Edge. 

-The Hamon Pattern Is Done By Differential Hardening With Clay Temperd. The  Hardening Process Is Made By Utilizing A Special Clay On The Edge, So It Gets A  Different Temperature And Cools In Different Time Than The Rest Of The Blade,  Becoming Harder And Quenching The Blade When It Is Cooled On Water. It Is A Very  Complex Technique, As If Not Properly Executed The Blade Will Break. The Fire  Can't Be Too Warm Or Cold, Only A Good Swordsmith Knows The Exact Temperature.  The Blade Then Get Its Shape With A Beautiful Hamon Hada And Martensite (Grains)  On Its Surface. This Way The Edge Can Be Very Hard And The Mune -The Spine Of  The Sword- Softer Giving It An Excelent Toughness. The Perfect Combination Of A  Hard Edge With The Increased Sori (Curvature Of The Blade) With A Strong Mune,  Enables This High Quality Blade To Easily Cut Through Tatami, Straw Mats Or  Bamboo For Tameshigiri.
