ITEM DESCRIPTION

Real Shark Skin Saya FoldedSteel&SanMai Blade Katana Sword

This katana is hand made by traditional technique of Japanese forging, Not like industrial forging in modern times, which be done either with presses or with hammers powered by compressed air, electricity, hydraulics or steam, but retains historical method using hammer and anvil. Two pieces outer jacket steel wrapped around a relatively softer, inner core steel, which is resilient and able to absorb shocks, in a way, reduces the possibility of the blade breaking or bending. This creates a blade with hard, sharp cutting edge.

The visible tenuous undulating grain on the  blade was resulted from folded repeatedly during forging. The blade shaped Shinogi-zukuri without blood groove, featured Chu points and Ihori blade backs, which has irregular wavy Boshi, and Gunome hamon resulted from quenching and tempering. Futsu shape of full tang has Haagari tang tips.

The Tsuka is made of hardwood, covered red authentic  shark samegawa  then wrapped tightly with black silk in Japanese style. Upper half of hardwood Saya wrapped with real shark skin, latter half of Saya lacquered in black with gloss finish. Black silk Sageo also rolled both sides of Kurikata to match wrappings on Tsuka.

The Koshirae are truly amazing, some portraits and fantastic pattern are hand engraved on elegant Tsuba, Fuchi and Kashira, which are made from oxidized copper. There are Brass Habaki and two copper Seppa securing the blade and as spacer to rivet the hilt and blade. And two subminiature copper Menuki are rested on each side of the Tsuka in the pattern of broadsword.

In addition, this katana can be taken apart fully anytime to maintenance. It also comes with a yellow silk bag with vivid spike.

Note: The sword in above video isn't  just this actual auction, it only shows this sword has the             characteristic of sharp, strong and flexible as the same as that one for cutting test.
