Blade: The blade of this sword is hand forged and finished with 12 stages of polishing and sharpening. The steel used is high quality carbon steel, which is very pure, keeps its edge very well and is incomparable. The blade is sharpened, if unsharpened is required please get in contact.

Folded Steel: This blade had been folded eleven times, creating 2048 layers.  This traditional sword forging method involves repeatedly heating, hammering and folding the swords steel.  The effect of this work evens out and homogenises the carbon content., making for a stronger more flexible blade.
