REAL SWORD: This sword features exquisite craftsmanship and is a true weapon and collectible. The folding Damascus steel blade is hand-forged, water-quenched, and polished, resulting in a high-hardness blade that meets real combat requirements.

ADVANCED POLISHING: The blade has been meticulously hand-polished using multiple grades of whetstones, making it incredibly sharp. This sword can be used for real cutting, Tameshigiri (cutting of soft targets such as tatami, bamboo, and pulp), and various other advanced applications.

COMFORTABLE AND SECURE GRIP: The hilt is covered in ray skin and wrapped in the traditional style with silk cord, providing a comfortable and secure grip.

HIGH-QUALITY IRON SAYA: The saya (sheath) is made of standard iron and is designed to become thicker over time, preventing deformation. The matte finish gives it a good feel and firm texture, making it suitable for use in harsh environments or outdoors. It is a high-grade and durable sheath.

SAFETY SWITCH TSUKA: The core of the tsuka (handle) is made of wood and is wrapped with Ito (silk cord) on the real Samegawa (ray skin). The full length of the sword is secured by two Mekugi (pegs). There is a brass machine button on the front, which serves as a safety device. The user must press the button to pull out the samurai sword, a very delicate and thoughtful design.
