Description
 
This Folded Tamahagane Katana Sword is the pinnacle among all of Tozando's live-blade sword selections.

Both the inner(softer) steel and the outer(harder) steel are made of raw Tamahagane which brings a resilient blade with the beautiful fine grain of Hada.

This Folded Tamahagane Katana Sword is optimal for the technical training such as many Kata of Iaido but also for the cutting exercises because of the extra super hard blade by the 15-time folding and the blade is hardened traditionally in a loam coat and the Hamon is real, not the sandblasted one. The hardness is 43 degree HCR for the spine(Mune) and 61 degree HCR for the cutting edge, which is very flat and extra razor-sharp.

Motokasane is approximately 8 mm thick as default, we also offer the 6 mm option for those who wish the slimmer blade. The weight without the Saya is approximately 1100 gram for 2.5 shaku(approximately 970 gram for the 2.5 shaku with 6 mm Motokasane).
Features
  • Blade made of folded, multi-layered carbon steel and Tamahagane hardened with the traditional method
  • Suitable for cutting rice straw mats, green bamboo or similar materials
  • Double Mekugin for maximum security
  • Brass Habaki
  • Genuine horn Koiguchi
  • Kurigata with gold-colored Shitodome
  • Japanese brass Fuchi/Kashira
  • Japanese brass Menuki
  • Japanese iron Tsuba

Reviewer: Robert from France  
I have been using almost all types of Japanese sword for my Iaido practice and this sword is the best ever among the rest that is not made in Japan.
