Full Tang Blade Samurai Katana Sword Japanese Handmade Clay Tempered L6 Steel Choji Hamon Blade Samurai Katana Sword Battle Ready Razor Sharp

Blade (Nagasa)

• The blade was made of L6 steel, and it has been laminated in a Maru structure with a clay temper line. 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.
• The blade is strong enough to cut a thick bamboo tree and sharp enough to slice paper.
