Folded steel Samurai Swords
In the folded steel
series, the grip construction features genuine ray skin covered wood, wrapped
very tightly in the traditional pattern to display the ray skin and the menuki.
The tsuba are meticulously crafted in traditional themes, which are repeated in
the fuchi, kashira, and menuki. The deeply lacquered wood scabbards have
authentic polished horn fittings and protective bag is supplied with each piece.
The
blades in this series are hand forged and folded from ASSAB-120C Swedish high
carbon steel, which offers outstanding edge holding properties and is a much
harder steel. The steel is folded 8-10 times. The edge-tempering process (clay firing) produces a edge hardness
of RC60 and a back hardness of RC40. This allows for a hard cutting edge and a
softer back to absorb the shock from the cutting stroke. After the blades are
heat treated, they are then hand polished using traditional methods revealing
the hamon line as well as the linear folding pattern giving each blade its own
unique appearance.
All
swords are sharp and ready for tameshi-geri (cutting).
