Blade：The blade of the sword has been hand forged using the ancient method of sword making. The visible undulating line on the edge was resulted from clay tempering and quenching during forging, it'll never disppear, and will be more distinct with time flies, because it was burned from inner. and you can see a blood groove on the blade.The back of blade looks like jet black due to whetting through a ancient traditional Japanese manual abrasive technique. and the whetstone is rare, now most of swords can't be whetted like this, because the cost is more expensive, and hardly any bladesmith can make use of this abrasive technique. The whole configuration and handwork is as like entirely as that belonging to former samurai. the material of the blade is high-carbon steel1095,inner core steel, which is resilient and able to absorb shocks, in a way, reduces the possibility of the blade breaking or bending. This creates a blade with hard, sharp cutting edge.
