Hamon..
That elusive visual evidence of a differentially hardened blade that shows clearly where the edge is hardened (yakiba) and what part of the blade is softer and more shock absorbent.
It is often subtle, shifting in and out of the light – but T10 tool steel seems to allow it to show a lot clearer than many other sword steels. And NONE clearer than the Kohaku Katana by Dragon King..
Just take a look at how richly defined and prominent this hamon temper line is on this piece:
An incredibly prominent and clearly defined hamon is what sets this sword apart from so many others
And where many blades have a tip (kissaki) that is counterpolished and ugly – after all, polishing the kissaki is almost as much work as polishing the rest of the blade due to its curved geometry – the Kohaku is, well, pretty much perfect.
Pretty much a PERFECT kissaki with amazing polish and stunning boshi
But the Kohaku is the complete package – with silver habaki, seppa and menuki, buffalo horn on the saya, iron koshirae, real rayskin – all done in a classic ‘Koi’ theme.
Great blade, great fittings and great price. What more can you ask for?
