Black Whirlwind katana

I am a fan of traditional katana, and China katana still have excellent quality. I have bought Chinese katanas before with poor details, but this time they are very good. The combination of tsuba, habaki, and tsuka, as well as the position of the center of gravity, proves its superiority

What is Katana?

Samurai sword It is a sword used by samurai (replaced by a katana). Since ancient times, katana have been known for their beautiful weapon shapes, and many famous swords have been collected as artworks, symbolizing the soul of samurai. One of the biggest characteristics of Katana is its artistic sense that transcends itself. From ancient times to the present, Katana has undergone many changes, leading to the expansion of many types of katanas. All of these Katana have their own professional terms: chokoto, odachi,tachi, taki, wakizashi, tando, naginata, ken, yari, jumonjiyari. The swords manufactured from the Meiji Restoration to the present belong to modern swords (gentaito).

What is katana hamon?

The so-called "Hamon" is a professional term that covers the blade with soil and burns it. The blade does not need high hardness areas covered with soil and then heated to a specific temperature. When the red hot leaves enter the water, the exposed part quickly cools down, while the temperature change of the covered part is not very significant, resulting in a different hardness from the exposed part, achieving a balance of rigidity and softness. In the case of high hardness of the blade, it can still maintain the good toughness of the blade and achieve a very variable hamon texture, which is also an important link in determining whether katana is good or bad.

What does Katana's Full Tang mean?

Full tang refers to whether the blade of Katana extends to the bottom of the handle, which is also the main factor determining whether Katana is sturdy. All of our samurai swords have a Full Tang structure with a thick keel that is fixed with mekugi, providing better strength and resistance during practice, while also respecting the technical knowledge of Japanese Sword.

How long is a katana?

Katana length has evolved in different periods in Japan. In modern forged katana, the classic length is about 40 inches and the blade length is 28 inches. However, depending on the type of sword and the user's body type, there may be different changes, as the katana must be suitable for your height. Therefore, in this length, if there is no suitable one for you, you can also choose to customize katana.

Is the Katana battle ready ?

Our katana is independently designed and produced by craftsmen who have worked in the industry for decades through over a dozen traditional processes such as forging, quenching, polishing, and grinding. Each samurai sword has undergone fine grinding, making the blade very sharp and capable of being cut by Tameshigiri. In addition, higher-level katana will use different advanced grinding methods, which means that craftsmen will spend a few more days on this katana to make it sharp like a razor and display forged textures on the blade.

How to sharpen a Katana

Generally speaking, our katana is already sharpen. But when you made the purchase, for some reason, you chose not to sharpen it. If you want to sharpen it yourself later, we will provide the following simple sharpening methods.

There are 4 main steps to sharpening a Katana:

Shaping work using an uchigumori stone to remove rust and scratches.

The blade is then passed over progressively smaller and finer stones in an effort to remove the marks from the uchigumori stone.

Hazuya stones glued to traditional Japanese paper are then used in order to remove the microscopic scratches that are left from the previous polishing.

Finally a Jizuya stone is used and rubbed on the surface of the blade, this is a long process done until the stone wears out.

How to distinguish a real katana?

The various parts of a real katana have professional terminology, and you can distinguish whether the purchased product is a real katana or a simple katana shaped sword based on the completeness of these parts.

Terminology and Parts of a Katana

Why is the surface of the blade smeared with oil? Can I remove the lubricating oil?

The purpose of using oil to maintain the blade is to form an oil film on the surface of the blade to isolate the oxygen in the air and prevent the daily storage from oxidizing and rusting the blade.So it is not recommended that you erase. Additionally, Katana should not be placed in direct sunlight or in damp or excessively dry areas. If you touch the back of the katana with your hand, or if you have dripped acidic liquid on the blade, you need to wipe it clean with a clean cotton cloth before spraying maintenance oil again.
