The folding process removes impurities from the steel, leaving only the finest quality steel. It is hammered and heated and hammered and heated until the perfect blade is formed. It is quenched for the perfect hardness. The wooden handle is wrapped in genuine Stingray skin (Samekawa) before the traditional cotton handle wrapping (Tsukamaki).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA clay-tempered sword is a blade produced using a traditional forging and heat-treatment method called differential hardening. This technique is most famously associated with traditional Japanese swords like the katana.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe core principle of this method is to give the sword two distinct properties within a single blade: a very hard, sharp cutting edge and a tough, flexible spine that resists breaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLength (cm) 105\u003cbr\u003eBlade Length (cm) 71.5\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDisplay stand included\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAs this is a metal sword it can only be sold to those over the age of 18 years upon receipt of valid ID.
