For those who demand an adherence to Japanese tradition and a blade forged from
a metal so pure that it doesn't require the folding process used to perfect
lower quality metals, here is the 1095 Japanese sword class. Hand forged and
polished to a mirror finish using, the carbon steel blade found on this Japanese
sword in the 1095 line is very sharp and its beauty is unparalleled.
In order for the Japanese swords to maintain its sharpness, its edge must be
hard while the 'body' of the sword must also be flexible in order to absorb
heavy blows and shocks without breaking. The way to create a metal that is both
hard and flexible at the same time was figured out centuries ago and is still
in use today. It's called differential hardening or Heat-tempering.
This complicated process consist of a thick layer of claymixture that is applied
to the spine side of the blade and the layer is thinned the closer it gets to
the edge of the sword. By heating the blade to the appropriate temperature,the
smith will remove the blade from the heat source and immediately immersed in
a trough of water. This process changes the composition of the metal and makes
the edge of the blade more hard than the body.
This japanese sword has a HRC of 40 on the back and around 58-60 on the edge.
Every stroke of the polishing stone brings out the exquisite grain and beauty
of this formidable metal. The careful work of master craftsmen's hands accents
each line in the blade and enhances the Hamon. This finely balanced weapon is
