This blade has a shape in "Unokubi-Zukuri" style. There is one big Hi (blood groove) on each side which is from Habaki to the middle of the blade, the thickness on the back becomes thinner from the half of the blade towards the tip, but the back turns to thick near the KISSAKI (tip). 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). This Tsuka is High Quality Ebony which is well known for its hardness, two Mekugi (peg) are nailed to secure the Tang of the sword. This saya is also made of High Quality Ebony which is hard and tigetened. Notice: 1. The sword is attached with saya and free silk bag. 2. Box and stand are not included.
