Illustration Of Blade Construction

Clay Tempered

Please view above picture A

This sword's blade was hand forged by Japanese traditional method Clay Tempered. The gray range of above blade is clay covered range. The sword smith puts the clay on the blade and only leave the edge non-clay. Then the blade's edge will be heated to red then quenched into water. In this status, the edge will be stronger but clay covered range still keep the blade's flexibility. After clay tempered the blade will leave a slight and fantastic white outline we call it is hamon line. You may see following picture. But let hamon line show beautiful status need Japanese Traditional Polishing. To understand Japanese sword polishing is to understand the Japanese sword.
