Shihozum Katana Japanese Sword Hazuya Polished Battle Ready--Ryan732
$380.00This katana is intricately forged in the shihozume lamination structure. The edge is made of 1095 high carbon steel which has high hardness while the sides are made of folded steel which has high flexibility and has a beautiful grain pattern or hada.

Imperfect fusion or welding of the different steel types on the blade can cause the blade to delaminate or split.
This katana is differentially hardened and has a visible hamon. The area between hamon and mune is hazuya polished, so it looks differently. The tsuba, fuchi and kashira are made of copper with bufferfly pattern. The tsuka is made of hardwood, wrapped with genuine rayskin and synthetic silk ito.

Nodachi 1095 Steel Japanese Long Sword Iron Tsuba Full Tang Battle Ready Sharp--Ryan867
$176.00Odachi or nodachi was a type of traditionally made Japanese sword used by the samurai class of feudal Japan.

The quenching process then needs a bigger quenching medium because uneven quenching might lead to warping the blade.
The blade is made of 1095 high carbon steel and full tang, the tsuka is wrapped with genuine rayskin and synthetic silk ito. The saya is made of hardwood. The sword is sharp and battle ready.

Handmade Tamahagane Katana Japanese Sword Clay Tempered Leather Ito Sharp--Ryan1277
$2,200.00Tamahagane, which in Japanese literally means "jewel steel" or "precious steel", is a type of steel made in the Japanese traditional way. Tamahagane is made by smelting iron sand in a clay furnace called "tatara" and mixing it with charcoal to produce steel with various carbon content. This very laborious process takes as much as 3 days. After the smelting process, the tatara is broken and the steel bloom or "kera" is broken and swordsmiths segregate and collect the steels with various carbon contents.
Making a blade from tamahagane requires high level of expertise from the swordsmith. Swordsmiths will laminate the different types of steel collected from the kera to create a sword which has a hard edge, soft core and springy sides.
