【How to Choose a T10 Katana? THE HAMON.】To those who appreciate the real katana, hamon is visual evidence of our maker’s effort to produce the finest blade work. Hamon is the visual effect of clay tempering. The principle behind it is to achieve both hardness and flexibility, which equals strength. These two things combined, make for a great samuira. Did you see that squiggly uneven line that runs through the body of our real katana blades in our photos? That’s the REAL and AUTHENTIC hamon.
