The blade adopts T10 high-carbon maru mono solid steel with traditional Tsuchioki clay differential temper craft, forming elegant soft undulating Notare continuous wave hamon, equipped with structural real hand-forged yokote, no blood groove maru solid blade, full fine hand polishing and factory pre-sharpened cutting edge for light iaido form training.
