Description: Product Parameter: Number: LC2461 Material: 1095 carbon steel folded 11 times (2468 layers), damascus folded steel, 百炼钢 Overall: 103cm/ 40.6" Blade: 70cm/ 27.5'' Widdth: 3.2 cm/ 1.26'' Thickness: 0.7cm/ 0.28'' HRC(Hardness): 58 Handle: 26 cm/ 10.24'' Blade shape: Unokubitsukuri Bo-Hi: Double hi, one long and one short Hamon: Real hamon by folding process Samegawa: Yelllow Fittings: Brass, dragon design Saya: Lacquered hardwood, engraved with dragon Tang(nakago): Full-tang, handle and blade is fixed by 2 bamboo mekugis vertically, very firm Pakage: 1sword with saya+1bag, the sword stand is not included. Craft: Hand folded and forged, water quenching treatment, Hand-polishing,etc.* 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 . * It's a functinonal sword. After our tests, it can be used to cut bamboo, water bottles, braches and slice paper, etc. Change accessoriesAdditional ServiceSword Noun ExplananationAbout usDelivery detailsChange accessoriesAlloy Tsuba Iron Tsuba Brass Tsuba TSUBATSUKA-ITO & SAGEO Tsuka-ito is the wrapping of the tsuka and sageo (下緒 or 下げ緒) is a hanging cord that is passed through the hole in the kurigata (栗形) of a Japanese sword's saya. SAMEGAWA Samegawa(鮫皮)is the ray or shark skin wrapping of the tsuka (handle/hilt). SAYA The saya is a wooden scabbard for the blade; traditionally done in lacquered wood. Additional Service It is free for engraving English words,Chinese characters and Japanese Kanji.You need pay additional $20 for engraving patterns (dragon, lion, etc.) or other logos. HamonWe can add or remove the machine-made wavy hamon for free. Bo-hi ( Blood Groove)Usually thought be used for bloodletting only. It is also used to lighten the weight of the sword. We can add or remove Bo-hi for free SharpnessMost of our blades are sharp. We can also make the blade unsharpenedfor free if you require. Colored BladeIf you want to change to a different color blade, please contact us before purchase. Matching Swords SetIf you buy one katana, we can make a matching Wakizashi or Tanto for you. The price varies from different swords. Please contact us if you need make custom matching set. Sword Noun ExplananationQuenching After the blade has been shaped, the sword would be quenched. We quench our swords in either water or oil. Water quenching produces a tougher edge which can also be hardened further more using clay. Blades quenched in oil are still considerably hardened and do have superior flexibility compared to a water quenched blade. Folded Steel:In the forging process , the most useful process is the folding, where the metals are forge welded, folded, and welded again, as many as 16 times. The folding removes impurities and helps even out the carbon content, while the alternating layers combine hardness with ductility to greatly enhance the toughness. The less impurities, the harder and sharper the blade will be. We have done cutting tests on the blades. it can cut bamboo(young bamboo tree),grass mattings and slice paper(The blade should be tilted at 45 degrees). Clay tempered : To maximize both the cutting edge and the resilience of the sword spine, a technique of differential heat-treatment is used. The sword is painted with layers of clay before heating, providing a thin layer or none at all on the edge of the sword, ensuring quick cooling to maximize the hardening for the edge. A thicker layer of clay is applied to the rest of the blade, causing slower cooling. This creates softer, more resilient steel, allowing the blade to absorb shock without breaking. About 1095 carbon steel : The best quality of high carbon steel is at 1095, the carbon content was 1.03%, and the element contains a small amount of chromium, molybdenum, vanadium, after heat treatment can reach HRc58-60 hardness, toughness is very good, but not resistant to rust, more be applied to traditional european-style hunting knife, large cutting knife and military dao. Such as the United States during world war ii "KA - BAR" saber is in 1095 as the blade material. Kobuse : The vast majority of modern katana andwakizashi are the maru type which is the most basic, with the entire sword being composed of a single steel. The kobuse type is made using two steels, which are called hagane (edge steel) and shingane (core steel).Steel of different materials is forged and welded together to hammer the basic shape of the sword. This allows the overall blade to have a higher toughness and absorb a lot of impact. Reducing the possibility of breaking or bending to some extent. Makes the blade not only has high hardness, but also has super toughness About us We have our own sword-casting factory. The factory is located in Longquan, a small town with a long history of sword-casting in China. Most of the famous Swords in China are made there. Rich raw materials, skilled technology, traditional sword casting technology from generation to generation.
