This sword is named for the silver colored and dragonfly themed menuki and kashira. The fittings on this sword are premium, Japanese Silk ito.

As with the other swords in the Menkyo Collection, the blade is differentially hardened T10. It has been hand polished via stones in the traditional manner to a full "art" polish. Details in the hamon are exquisite and must be seen in person to truly appreciate. The blade is a light and fast cutter, with little niku (appleseed edge geometry). Therefore this sword should only be used on traditional cutting targets such as tatami.

ABOUT KANEIE

Based out of Shanghai, Kaneie forges their own samurai sword blades adhering closely to the traditional Japanese shapes but use modern steels to produce a superior overall production sword. Many of the steel and alloy fittings are sourced from Japan as well as the handle wrap (ito). Kaneie carves the scabbard and handle from high quality woods and shapes them to a high standard not seen outside of high end custom swords and, of course, Japan.

The Menkyo collection is unique in every way and is the ultimate cross-over between ancient smithing techniques and modern steel. These swords feature a unique Choji hamon which has never been done before on a production sword. All this beauty comes together by a traditional sashikomi (old style) or kesho hadori (modern style) sword polish.
