The hand-forged blade features superior strength resulting from the change in the structure of the steel when hammered. The blade featured on this Sword is an Iron Wrap 60° High Carbon Steel. The tang, point edges and grooves are then hot forged. The blade is heat treated using a forge and an oil quench tank. The blade is put through flex and shock tests to ensure proper strength. This sword can be fully dis-assembled by removing the pin that holds the tang in place on the handle. Once the saya is removed you will see the carved initials of the sword maker on the Nakago (Tang).
