Product detailed description

SHIRASAYA Mijikai Japanese Sword T-10 Folded Steel, Real Choji Hamon, Yokote

2.55 Shaku, ko kissaki

This blade is made of T-10 folded steel. The blade has been folded 11 times to create 2048 layers to increase the flexibility and hardness of the blade. The visible wavy grain on the blade is the result of repeated folding during forging. The production of this blade goes through 14 processes, right down to hand sharpening- the surface of the blade is like a mirror. The blade was hand polished with a hazuya stone in the final stage - this achieves an almost razor sharp edge. The distinctive real Choji Hamon is created according to ancient traditional methods based on the master blacksmith's years of experience. This blade has been tried and tested to remove everything in its path ! TheSori (curvature of the blade) is specially designed to achieve the finest and cleanest cuts possible. The T-10 carbon folded steel has an impressive hardness in the HRC range - the perfect combination of this hardness is emphasized by the Sori blade curvature which allows you to easily cut through tatami, straw mats, or bamboo for tameshigiri. The full tang construction of this bladegreatly increases the strength of the sword. The tip of the blade is shaped shinogi-zukuri and ko kissaki with a true Diamond-Shaped Yokote, which is very well defined by the hamon running full length through the Boshi.

The blade in the blade design with a groove (shinogi zukuri) is ideal for training the cleanness of the slash, because thanks to the groove of the bo-hi, the blade "whistles"(tachi kaze - "wind of the sword") during a technically well-executed stroke, so that it is possible to verify the correct execution of the technique.

Shirasaya is the name given to a special set for a samurai sword, which was formerly used to hold the blade gently. Especially in peacetime, the blades were optimally protected. Many of the shirasaya sets bore a "sayagaki", an inscription giving information about the smith, origin and assignment. The inconspicuous handleless sleeve and hilt were used on the streets of Japan, especially in the late 19th century. At that time, the Emperor forbade the wearing of samurai swords. The shirasaya set, which was very similar in appearance to a wooden sword or a wooden pole, thus cleverly enabled the sword to be worn unnoticed.

samurai sword warranty - examples of misuse

In general, these are all activities except for traditional chopping test techniques, which involve chopping into special mats.

.

✅Cutting branches, trees and bushes: for this activity people have developed other tools such as axes or machetes

✅Chopping or swordplay with another sword: destructive damage to the blade of a samurai sword occurs - samurai avoided any direct contact with the enemy to avoid damaging the blade. The repair was long and expensive

✅Never wear a sharp samurai sword with the blade exposed in public: Always keep the sword sheathed in the Saya (scabbard). In Germany and other EU countries, this is even an obligation prescribed by gun law

✅Never insert a dirty blade into the Saya: If you are performing chop tests on fruit, clean and preserve the blade immediately after chopping, otherwise the blade will rust and oxidize

✅Never leave the sword lying in a damp place such as a porch, shed, cellar or conservatory: This traditional weapon definitely does not deserve such treatment. Always clean the blade after use, brush with oil and store the sword in a dry place.
