FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What steel is the blade made of?
The blade is 1045 high carbon steel, hand forged and heat tempered. Hardness is 52β54 HRC at the edge and 48β50 HRC at the spine.
Does the blade have a bo-hi (fuller)?
Yes. The blade has a bo-hi (fuller) on each side.
Is the hamon real?
The hamon line on this blade is produced by hand polishing. It is a visual finish, not a clay-tempered hamon.
Is 1045 steel good enough for a functional sword?
1045 is a reliable entry-to-mid grade carbon steel β heat tempered to 52β54 HRC, it holds a serviceable edge for tatami and light bamboo cutting. It is the most forgiving steel in our line: easier to sharpen, more tolerant of lateral stress, and ideal for beginners. If you plan to cut seriously and regularly, we also carry 1060 and 1095 grades in most designs.
Is the blade sharp and ready for cutting practice?
Yes. The blade is hand sharpened before shipping. Our sharpened blades are mainly designed for cutting practice on tameshigiri (soaked rolled mats) or fresh bamboo.
How do I maintain the blade?
Wipe dry after handling or use. Apply a light coat of choji or mineral oil along the full blade length before storing. Carbon steel will develop surface rust if left wet or unprotected β a minute of care after each session keeps the blade in condition indefinitely.
How do I know the quality is genuine?
Every sword is individually inspected and adjusted before leaving our California warehouse. We check edge geometry, fitment of all components, and the security of the mekugi pegs before packing. If anything is not right, it does not ship.
