Overall Length: 40.5 inch= 104 cm Nagasa Lengh: 27.8 inch= 70.5 cm Handle Length: 10.6 inch= 27 cm Kissaki Shape: Chu-Kissaki Blade Shape: SHINOGUI-ZUKURI Blade Width (near Habaki): 1.26 inch= 3.2 cm Blade Width (near Kissaki): 0.91 inch= 2.3 cm Blade Material: Folded Steel + Clay Tempered Saya Material: Hard wood Handle Material: Hard Wood + Ray Skin Tsuba Material: High Quality Brass Sori (curve): 1.8 cm Package Weight: 2.0 kg Condition: Brand New In Addition: This blade is made of folded steel and has folded 14 times to create the 4096 layers to increase the flexibility and hardness of the blade and a distinct texture is left on the blade as a result of the repeated folding during the process. The visible tenuous undulating grain on the blade was resulted from folded repeatedly during forging. A special clay is applied to the blade by hand, using a thin covering near the edge and a thicker layer over the rest of the blade. This results in a relatively quicker cooling of the edge during quenching, producing a harder edge and softer back. The beautiful real hamon is also a result of the differential cooling of the blade (quenching and tempering). Two seppas spacers secure the Tsuba. The Habaki (blade collar) is of brass composition. This Tsuka is wooden one wrapped with genuine ray skin, and tied with real silk ITO in the traditional wrap. This Saya (sheath) of the sword is Hard wood and lacquered black with high quality paint to high gloss its surface. The Sage-O is tied around the Kurikata (knob) of the saya, the Koiguchi (scabbard mouth) and Kojiri (scabbard tip) has been hardened. Notice: 1. The sword is attached with saya and free silk bag. 2. Box and stand are not included.
