Product detailed description

Take Shikomizue Japanese Katana Sword Folded AISI 1075 Steel, Real Choji Hamon

This blade is made of 1075 folded steel. The blade has been folded 11 times to create 2048 layers to increase the flexibility and hardness of the blade. The visible wavy grain on the blade is the result of repeated folding during forging. The production of this blade goes through 14 processes up to hand sharpening - the surface of the blade as a mirror. The blade has been hand polished with hazuya stone in the final stage - this achieves an almost razor sharp edge. Significant real Choji Hamon is created according to ancient traditional methods based on the master blacksmith's many years of experience. It is a top quality replica of a samurai sword that is suitable for sect trials and can be disassembled into its individual parts. This blade has been tried and tested to remove everything in its path ! Sori (blade curvature) is specially designed to achieve the finest and cleanest cuts possible. All this combined with the choice of a traditional Koshirae ensures that you get the best in terms of appearance and functionality. AISI1075 carbon folded steel has impressive hardness in the HRC range- the perfect combination of this hardness is emphasized by the curvature of the Sori blade , which makes it easy to cut through tatami, straw mats, or bamboo for tameshigiri. The full tang construction of this katana ingreatly increases the sword's power. The blade tip is shaped shinogi-zukuri and chu kissaki with real Diamond-Shaped Yokote, which is very well defined by the hamon running the full length through the Boshi.

Company Dellinger disclaims all liability for injury and damage resulting from use. Keep the katana out of the reach of children ! Any handling of the samurai sword is your own responsibility. Remember, you are holding a deadly weapon!

Shirasaya is the name given to a special set for a samurai sword, which was formerly used to hold the blade gently. Especially in peacetime, the blades were optimally protected. Many of the shirasaya sets bore a "sayagaki", an inscription giving information about the smith, origin and assignment. The inconspicuous handleless sleeve and hilt were used on the streets of Japan, especially in the late 19th century. At that time, the Emperor forbade the wearing of samurai swords. The shirasaya set, which was very similar in appearance to a wooden sword or a wooden pole, thus cleverly enabled the sword to be worn unnoticed.

This is a highly crafted and fully functional replica of a samurai katana sword.

samurai sword warranty - examples of misuse

In general, these are all activities except for traditional chopping test techniques, which involve chopping into special mats.

- Cutting branches, trees and bushes: for this activity people have developed other tools such as axes or machetes.

- Chopping, or swordplay with another sword: destructive damage to the blade of a samurai sword - samurai avoided any direct contact with the enemy to avoid damaging the blade. The repair was long and expensive.

- Never wear a sharp samurai sword with the blade exposed in public: Always keep the sword sheathed in the Saye (scabbard). In Germany and other EU countries, this is even an obligation prescribed by gun law.

- Never insert a dirty blade into the Sayi: If you are performing chop tests on fruit, clean and preserve the blade immediately after chopping, otherwise the blade will rust and oxidize.

- Never leave your sword in a damp place such as a porch, shed, cellar or conservatory: This traditional weapon definitely does not deserve such treatment. Always clean the blade after use, brush with oil and store the sword in a dry place.
