Bare Blades for Japanese Swords: Craftsmanship, Customization, and Precision
A bare blade represents the ultimate craft of the Japanese swordsmith. The process begins with a high-carbon steel, often folded steel, heated and hammered repeatedly to eliminate impurities. This folding technique, passed down for centuries, results in a blade that is not only strong and sharp but also flexible enough to withstand the rigors of combat or training. The beauty of the folding process lies in the grain-like pattern it leaves behind on the blade, called hada, which is visible once the blade is polished.Another hallmark of Japanese sword blades is the hamon, or temper line, which is the result of differential hardening. This technique involves applying clay to specific parts of the blade during the tempering process, creating a distinct hardness along the edge and flexibility on the spine. This unique feature not only adds visual appeal but also significantly enhances the blade's cutting ability and resilience.
