Steel construction = TSUKURIKOMI Ⅰ
Most Japanese blades do not consist of one even material. Most of them are constructed of different kinds of steels.
I will introduce some of the typical methods of the inner construction.
There is no superiority nor inferiority in these constructions. They are just a difference of methods.
One even material = MUKU (in Japanese)
It is made of one material so the steel is identical in every part if you do not take into account the tempering effect.
Wrapping styles with two kinds of material = KOBUSE and MAKURI
It is constructed of two different kinds of steel, the core steel and the outer steel, where the core steel is wrapped with the outer steel.
As to the tempering, the outer steel is more sensitive than the core steel.
There are several ways to create such a style of construction.
1) Wrapping = KOBUSE
c = core steel
o = outer steel
In this case the outer steel is harder than the core steel.
2) Rolling = MAKURI
In this case the outer steel is also harder than the core steel.
Most of blades made in the Bizen province may be either the kobuse or the makuri type of construction.
And the real Soshu tradition blades are the same.
