This military‑heritage‑oriented collectible features premium T10 high‑carbon steel blade with traditional tsuchioki clay‑differential‑tempering generating authentic suguha straight hamon temper‑line.

Hamon temper‑line and polished blade surface scratch easily; only static historical‑theme display and photo‑shooting are allowed. Heavy chopping and violent impact must be strictly prohibited to preserve military‑reproduction collectible surface condition.
