HERO SWORD New Handmade Luxury Tri-Color Polished Katana with T8 Steel Clay Tempering Japanese Samurai Sword
- **Blade Material**: The blade is crafted from T8 steel, a high-quality material known for its excellent balance of hardness and toughness. It undergoes a traditional clay tempering process, which creates a distinctive hamon (temper line) and enhances the blade’s performance.
- **Sharpness**: The blade is hand-polished through 18 meticulous steps, achieving a razor-sharp edge. The mirror-polishing technique ensures a smooth and reflective surface, making the blade not only visually stunning but also incredibly sharp. With a hardness of around 60° on the Rockwell scale, it can easily cut through iron without damaging the edge. This combination of hardness and flexibility ensures that the blade remains sharp and resilient during use.
- **Cutting Ability**: The blade is extremely sharp, capable of effortlessly slicing through bamboo and small trees. This level of sharpness is comparable to that of a razor, making it an excellent tool for cutting and slicing tasks.

The tri-color polishing technique further enhances the blade’s aesthetic, giving it a unique appearance.
- **Handle**: The handle is wrapped with a traditional cord, known as "tsuka-ito," which provides a secure and comfortable grip. The wrapping is done by hand, ensuring precision and durability.
- **Scabbard**: The scabbard is made of solid wood and features a traditional lacquer finish, which not only enhances the aesthetic value but also protects the blade from moisture and damage. The scabbard is also equipped with a beautiful cord wrap, known as "sageo," which adds to its overall elegance and functionality.
