Damascus Folded 1095 Steel Bare Blade for Katana, Wakizashi, Tanto/Kanto or Chokuto/Ninjato

• Base metal: 1095 Folded Steel. Our premium steel blade, which is more premium than 1060 Steel and yields the sharpest edge.
• Folded steel is different from high-carbon steel in its forging process. Folded blades are made by repeatedly heating, hammering, and folding the metal. Our folded steel blade is 13 times folded, resulting in 8192 layers. Folded steel improves the blade’s cutting ability and durability.
• Hand-forged blade, fully made especially with your custom specifications, exactly as asked.
• Can be made for any katana, chokuto/ninjato, tanto/kanto, or wakizashi sword. We can also make other, custom sizes as per your needs.
• The blade can be clay-tempered, adding a beautiful natural hamon with the pattern of your choice.
• We can add a blood-groove (bo-hi), or perhaps a double one, or even a double Kiriha-Zukuri blood groove, giving the sword a more intense look and feel.
• The blade can also be microplated, adding a layer of color which enhances its aesthetic and protects it. We recommend using microplated swords for light cutting only since the coloring can fall off with extreme usage.
• Extremely durable blade, made for heavy-duty swords wielding.
