Steel construction = TSUKURIKOMI Ⅱ
Three-layer styles = SAM'MAI, HON-SAM'MAI, and SHIHO-ZUME
It is made by a sandwich-like method.
On the cutting surface, the border of the two steels appears. Sometimes this border makes a visible effect into the hamon.
Examples - tanto by the HASEBE school
- Gassan blades
- some of MINO blades
- some blades made by KIYOMARO
- some blades made by SYOHEI MIYAIRI
We don't know why, but many of Soshu style blades in the modern age are made of this construction. The real Soshu tradition is the wrapping style, but the copy of it is made of the sandwich style.
1) Three-layer = SAM'MAI
c = core steel
o = outer steel
In this case the core steel is harder than the outer steel.
2) HON-SAM'MAI
c = core steel
o = outer steel
e = cutting edge steel
In this case there is one more, a third kind of steel - the cutting edge steel which is the hardest of all.
The core steel is the mildest.
3) All directions packing = SHIHO-ZUME
c = core steel
o = outer steel
e = cutting edge steel
b = back steel
This type of construction is made of four kinds of steel: the core, the outer, the cutting edge, and the back steel. The hardest is again the cutting edge steel, the mildest is the core steel.
