Item number: bladeH2601 Condition: New, unused no damages Material: 1060 carbon steel, folded 11 times Craft: Hand forged and polished with 12 procedures Hamon: Forged hamon, natural ripple layers caused by folding the steel Bo-Hi: With Bo-hi Tang: Full Tang Whole Length: 97.4 cm/38.3 inch Blade Length: 70.4 cm/27.72 inch Nakago Length: 27 cm/10.63 inch Blade Width: 3.2 cm/1.26 inch Blade Thickness: 0.7 cm/0.28 inch Weight: 744 g Packing list: A naked blade with normal brass Habaki Note: 1. Manual measurement error range 1-2 cm. 2. There is no hole on the Nakago/tang of the blade. You should drill that yourself. If you want us to drill for you, the place will be chosen randomly. Hope you can understand. 3. Usually we don't maintain the Nakago part. Even some users won't remove the rust on the Nakago because it can make the blade more firm. So the rust on Nakago is not quality problem. If cannot accept this, please consider before your purchase.

Good value, nice scratch project or replacement blade
Well packaged. I nicked my finger on the point getting it out of the box, so much for sharpness. This is Chinese, no doubt lacking sandwich Japanese soft core and harder outside forging method; but it is very nicely finished with all the features of the real thing. There is a faint Damascus pattern, and it is nicely polished. It has a nice fitting habaki. It is long and heavy. It is a great DIY project. I have an antique tsuba and have started lacewood tsuka and saya. Later I may try a traditional tsuka with ray skin and learn the wrapping method with all the appointments, with a laquered saya. I have bought several moderate quality katana, made in Japan, with blades of lesser appearance length, and weight.

Tsukamaki!
Tried to order it without the bo-hi, but didn't really mind that it had one, once I got it. No hamon is better than faux hamon; and the damascus pattern compensates for it.Go ahead. Customize your own sword.
