This is a sword and we believe in quality over quantity. swords are hand-made, fully functional, and "battle ready" katanas. They are best suited for practice in all sword arts, completion cutting, and collecting. The Japanese Katanas, hand-made by lyuesword, are of the highest quality. lyuesword has been produced Japanese swords for professional collectors and practitioners of Iaido, Iaijutsu, and Kenjutsu for over 10 years!
The blade is fully hand-made in the most traditional Japanese craftsmanship way. It is fully hand forged, hand-polished and hand-sharpened by our experienced smith.
The blade was made of t10 high carbon 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 tsuka (handle) is covered in black same (ray skin) and the Tsuka Ito (handle wrap) is best japanese drak red silk 10mm wide. The tsuba is made from alloy. The koiguchi is made from coper.The habaki and the seppa are also made from copper.
The swod is a fully functional Japanese katana and not a replica, it is considered a weapon and it is extremely sharp. This sword can easily sever a 7" thick bamboo with single stroke. The katana can be completely disassembled for full Maintenance.
This sword can also be made dull so that you can use it for practice, like in Iaido !
