About Lyuesword Japanese Samurai Sword Katana Folded
Overall Length: 40.5 inch=104 cm Nagasa Lengh: 27.8 inch=70.5 cm Handle Length: 10.6 inch=27 cm Kissaki Shape: No Kissaki Blade Shape: KORAGASU-MARU Blade Width (near Habaki): 1.26 inch=3.2 cm Blade Width (near Kissaki): 0.91 inch=2.3 cm Blade Material: Folded Steel + Clay Tempered Saya Material: Hard Wooden + Ray skin + OX horn Handle Material: Hard Wood + Ray Skin Tsuba Material: High Quality Brass Sori (curve): 1.8 cm Package Weight: 2.0 kg Condition: Brand New In Addition: This blade is made of folded steel and has folded 12 times to create the 4096 layers to increase the flexibility and hardness of the blade and a distinct texture is left on the blade as a result of the repeated folding during the process. The visible tenuous undulating grain on the blade was resulted from folded repeatedly during forging. This blade has a shape in "Kogarasu-maru" style, it is the nickname of one very famous sword in that style.There are two Hi on each side, one is longer and shallow which is from habaki to kissaki, one is shorter and deep which is from habaki to the middle of the blade. This not only allows for a lighter blade and audible feedback when swung, but also can balance the blade to achieve optimal performance. Two seppas spacers secure the Tsuba. The Habaki (blade collar) is of brass composition. This saya is hard wooden and lacquered black to match the red ray skin perfectly, 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.
