Experience the Elegance of the Hand-Forged TACHI Sword:
Immerse yourself in the rich tradition of Japanese sword craftsmanship with this exceptional TACHI sword. Forged using ancient techniques, it embodies the perfect fusion of artistry, strength, and function.
Exquisite Folded Steel Construction:
The blade of this TACHI is meticulously crafted from AISI 1060 High Carbon Steel.
The steel undergoes tenfold folding, resulting in an impressive 1024 layers that contribute to unparalleled strength and flexibility.
The intricate undulating grain pattern on the blade is a testament to the countless folds during forging.
Differential Clay Tempering and Water Quenching:
Traditional techniques of differential clay tempering and water quenching are applied to the blade.
A special clay mixture is meticulously applied to create a thin covering near the edge and a thicker layer over the rest of the blade.
This process results in a distinctive hamon (temper line) as well as a hardened edge and a softer, more flexible back.
HAZUYA Polishing for Unrivaled Brilliance:
The blade undergoes a meticulous polishing process, culminating in the use of HAZUYA, an ultra-fine Uchigumori stone fixed with paper.
HAZUYA enhances the hamon and ensures a mirror-like finish on the shinogi-ji (blade ridge) and edge.
Classic “SHINOGI-ZUKURI” Blade Style:
The blade is expertly crafted in the “SHINOGI-ZUKURI” style, a classic and versatile choice for TACHI, KATANA, and WAKIZASHI swords.
The absence of a BO-Hi (fuller) enhances the blade’s strength and cutting power.
Artistic Brass Tsuba and Menuki:
A finely detailed brass tsuba (guard) featuring a floral design sets an elegant tone for the sword.
The one-piece brass habaki (blade collar) ensures a secure fit.
Brass fuchi (sleeve) and kashira (buttcap) embellished with a tortoise and crane design complement the overall aesthetics.
Copper Menuki (ornaments) in the shape of dragons add both artistic flair and functional grip to the Tsuka (handle).
Intricate Tsuka (Handle) Details:
The Tsuka core is constructed from durable hardwood.
The tsuka-ito (handle wrap) consists of coffee-colored synthetic silk meticulously wrapped in a Hineri-maki style over black lacquered real ray skin samegawa (ray skin).
Durable Saya (Sheath):
The saya (sheath) is fashioned from robust hardwood.
Black real rayskin is applied for a refined appearance.
Thick synthetic silk cord is meticulously wrapped around the saya.
A Sage-o (cord) is neatly tied over a bright copper Kurigata (knob).
