Product detailed description

Doragon II. Japanese Sword T-10 Steel Kobuse, real hamon Gunome

.

Hand forged and hand cut katana of the highest quality. The blade of the sword was laminated in the configuration KOBUSE MAI and hardened to a real hamon. The core of the blade is made of forged steel T-10 and the sides made of forged AISI 1060 high carbon steel This configuration significantly improves the mechanical properties of the blade, where thanks to the softer core the blade better absorbs shock during handling and the hard, differentially hardened blade uncompromisingly penetrates the hit target. T-10 carbon steel (1.1% carbon and 0.4% manganese) is very strong and holds its edge very well. The production of this blade goes through 14 processes up to hand grinding and polishing, where a high gloss surface of the blade is achieved. The blade has been polished in the final stage with hazuya stone to a razor edge and is decorated with an engraving of the oriental symbol HORIMONO according to ancient techniques.
Distinctive real hamon type GUNOME is created according to ancient traditional methods based on the many years of experience of the master blacksmith.  This is a truly high-end replica of a samurai sword, which is suitable for sake trials and can be disassembled into its individual parts thanks to the full tang construction and mekugi bamboo safety pins. . All of this combined with the choice of a traditional Koshirae ensures that you get the best in terms of appearance and functionality. The T-10 carbon steel has an impressive hardness of HRC 58 - the perfect combination of this hardness is underlined by the curvature of the Sori blade, which makes it easy to cut through tatami, straw mats or bamboo for tameshigiri. The full tang construction of this katana greatly increases the sword's power. The katana blade is a shinogi zukuri type with a chu kissaki tip. This blade shape has been used since the 10th century AD and is characterised by its extraordinary cutting power. This katana (samurai sword) is suitable for practical use, the company Dellinger however, the company disclaims any responsibility for injuries and damages resulting from use.

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.
