Before the advent of modern steel almost entirely free of imperfections, ancient swordsmiths would create a superior sword by evening out the impurities by folding the blade. While it is no longer necessary to fold a blade to even out impurities, when done properly a folded steel sword is the pinnacle of blade art..
This sword is one such example - all attention is drawn to the complex swirling 'Mokume' patterned folding lines of the 'Hadakirei' Katana by Ryujin Swords.
The fittings are simple but fully functional - Iron 'C' Ring Musashi tsuba, iron fuchigashira, black cotton ito and real rayskin with a glossy black saya. But the blade truly comes alive and really does need to be seen first hand to be appreciated..
