Hand forged blade made of AISI 1075 steel of the highest quality. The steel was laminated in a layered configuration (damascus) - differentially hardened . Carbon steel AISI 1075 (0.95% carbon and 0.4% manganese) is very strong and holds its sharpness very well. The production of this blade goes through 14 processes up to hand sharpening - the surface of the blade is like a mirror. The blade has been polished with hazuya stone in the final stage - this achieves an almost razor sharp edge. Traditionally forged hand-fired carbon steel is folded 10 times to create a total of 1024 layers. The higher number of layers provides more unique and mystical line patterns that define and display the craftsmanship and knowledge of traditional metallurgy passed down from generation to generation. Only the most skilled bladesmiths and polishers can make this blade. During the forging process, all the slag and impurities from the carbon steel are burned and scraped off . This results in uncompromising strength with a very sharp edge.

The real Choji hamon is created according to ancient traditional methods based on many years of experience of master blacksmiths. This process produces a beautiful hamon of Snake andMartensite (grain) on the blade. This is a top quality replica of a samurai sword that is suitable for sake trials and can be disassembled. This blade has been tried and tested to remove everything in its path ! Sori (blade curvature) allows cutting to be carried out in such a way as to achieve the finest and cleanest possible cuts. All this combined with the choice of a traditional Koshirae ensures that you get the best in terms of appearance and functionality. MoNCOMPOSITIVE aISI 1075 carbon steel has impressive hardness in the HRC range - the perfect combination of this hardness is emphasised by the curvature of the Sori blade, which makes it easy to cut through tatami, straw mats or bamboo for tameshigiri.

The tip of the blade is shaped shinogi-zukuri and shubo zukuri kissaki (pointed tip), which is very well defined by the hamon running the full length through the boshi.

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 your sword 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 chopping 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 is certainly not the treatment this traditional weapon deserves. Always clean the blade after use, brush with oil and store the sword in a dry place.
