The visible tenuous undulating grain on the blade was resulted from folded repeatedly during forging. 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). 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 (sheath) of the sword is High Quality Rosewood. The Sage-O is tied around the Kurikata (knob) of the saya, the Koiguchi (scabbard mouth) and Kojiri (scabbard tip) has been hardened.Notice: 1. The sword is attached with saya and free silk bag. 2. Box and stand are not included.
