"ART SHOULD HURT"
Classic styling with a modern touch, the T10 tool steel blade of this sword has a very unique golden colored Anodized hamon created with an electrochemical process to coat the blade with a decorative and protective layer giving it a special 'two tone' effect. This is no purely cosmetic effect however, as underneath the blade has been differentially hardened, bringing out the unique qualities of T10 tool steel.
The fittings of this sword are subtle to let the blade do all the talking - with a 'bamboo' themed zinc-alloy tsuba and fuchigashira, rayon tsuka with real rayskin and a hard wearing textured black saya with gold colored rayon sageo.
Do not be fooled by its beauty though - this is no wallhanger and is perfectly capable of light to medium backyard cutting practice. Great as a gift or to spice up a 'generic' collection.
