Blade (Nagasa)

• This Blade is full handmade by professional smith, including hand forged, polished and sharpened. During the whole process, it is made in the traditional japanese craftsmanship way.
• This blade is made of folded steel and has folded 14 times to create the 4096 layers to increase the flexibility and hardness of the blade and a distinct texture is left on the blade as a result of the repeated folding during the process. The visible tenuous undulating grain on the blade was resulted from folded repeatedly during forging.
• A special clay is applied to the blade by hand, using a thin covering near the edge and a thicker layer over the rest of the blade. This results in a relatively quicker cooling of the edge during quenching, producing a harder edge and softer back.The beautiful real hamon is also a result of the differential cooling of the blade (quenching and tempering).
• The blade is in full-tang which greatly enhances the strength of the whole sword.
