The factory has used only
traditional materials for these Japanese sword’s fittings.
The Tsuba (guard), Fuchi (collar), and Kashira (pommel), are
expertly made and finely crafted in nickel-silver brass.
The Habaki (blade collar) is hand made out
of nickel-silver brass and each hilt is covered in Samé (ray
skin) and tightly wrapped in the traditional style with black
silk cord. A beautiful Menuki (a small ornamental sculpture inserted
between the ray skin and the cord wrappings on the handle) enhances
the sword’s aesthetic appearance and makes for a sword
that is as traditional looking as they can possibly make it.
All feature fully sharpened 1055 carbon steel
blades, each heat treated to a spring temper. The blade surface
is then given a careful polish by hand, with a distinctive mirror
polish applied to the fuller (blood groove).
All come complete with a black lacquered scabbard
and a blue-violet cover bag. |
