BLADE: this is folded steel clay tempered blade, folded by 15 times, 32768 layers.

The clay temper procedure is really complicated, and the way we use is the ancient clay temper craft. the blade will be set apart as 2, one is the back of the blade and the other is the cut edge side. the back side will be stick with the clay and the other side will be covered by the powder and other mixture which is protected as a secret recipe. coz the different thickness of the back of the blade and the cut edge side, and the different of the clay mud and the mixture, when the blade cooling to be a same low temperature at the same time after the heating by high temperature, that is why the blade has a radian, and there is a clay temper wave line.

This blade comes with a full length Tang which greatly enhances the strength of the sword. this sword is strong enough to cut through a thick bamboo tree with a single strike yet sharp enough to slice paper.

TSUKA: The Tsuka (handle) is made of hard wood(wider on the 2 ends and thinner in the middle of the handle), tightly wrapped over genuine Samegawa (Ray skin) with silk Ito. The Fuchi (sleeve) and Kashira (buttcap) are made of Alloy. The Tang of the sword is secured by two Mekugi (pegs). Two Menuki (ornaments) are on each side of the Tsuka.

TSUBA: the tsuba is used to protect your hand from sliding onto the blade during thrusts.

HABAKI(blade collar): is a one piece brass construction. the main point of the habaki is to make the saya tight to the blade, so it is normal if there is scratch on.

SEPPAS(spacer): Two Seppas secure the Tsuba (if the tsuba is not so tight after a long time, you can disassemble the sword and put more seppas there).

SAYA: The saya (sheath) of the sword is made of hardwood,tied with thick Sageo brass Kurigaga (knob) of the scabbard.

Bo-Hi: Bo-hi has been added to the blade in order to lighten it and provide audible feedback when swung. it is called Blood-Groove sometimes.
