BLADE: The blade of this sword is hand forged and polished with 12 procedures. The steel we use is not the normal steel with the truck or cars or other life electrics, the steel use for the blade contents much more carbon and the purity can not be comparable. The blade is sharpened, if you want it unsharpened, please contact with us.
TSUKA: The Tsuka (handle) is made of hard wood (wider on the two ends and thinner in the middle of the handle), tightly wrapped over genuine Samegawa (Ray skin) with synthetic silk Ito. The Fuchi (sleeve) and Kashira (buttcap) are made of Alloy. The Tang of the sword is secured by a Mekugi (pegs) . Two Menuki (ornaments) are on each side of the Tsuka.
TSUBA: The tsuba is used to protect your hand from sliding onto the blade during thrusts.
HABAKI (blade collar): is a one piece brass construction. the main point of the habaki is to make the saya tight to the blade,so it is normal if there is scratch on.
SEPPAS (spacer): Two Seppas secure the Tsuba (if the tsuba is not so tight after a long time, you can disassemble the sword and put more seppas there).
SAYA: The saya (sheath) of the sword is made of hardwood,tied with Sageo brass Kurigaga (knob) of the scabbard.
