The visible tenuous undulating grain on the blade was resulted from folded repeatedly during forging. 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). Two seppas spacers secure the Tsuba. The Habaki (blade collar) is of brass composition. This saya is hard wooden and inlayed with shell and later lacquered with a beautiful decorative bamboo pattern on it, the Sage-O is tied around the ox horn Kurikata (knob) of the saya, the ox horn Koiguchi (scabbard mouth) and Kojiri (scabbard tip) has been hardened to tighten the hardness of the saya. Notice: 1. The sword is attached with saya and free silk bag. 2. Box and stand are not included.
