Blade: The blade of the sword has been hand forged using the ancient method of sword making. Fully hand crafted, hand polished by TAKASHI & Co. The blade was made of 65MN steel, and it has been laminated in a Maru style. The whole blade was hardened by oil quench. The blade does not only allow for a perfect weight and audible feedback when swung, but also balance the blade to achieve optimal performance. The tip of the blade is a Chu Kissaki (medium length). This blade has been hand polished with multiple grade sharpen stone, which made the surface of the blade like a mirror. This blade comes with a full length Tang which greatly enhances the strength of the sword. this sword is strong enough to cut through a thick bamboo with a single strike yet sharp enough to slice paper.

Tsuka: The Tsuka (handle) core is wooden and it is tightly wrapped over rayskin with synthetic silk Ito. The Fuchi (sleeve) and Kashira (buttcap) are made of Zinc Alloy. The Tang of the sword is secured by two Mekugi (peg). Two copper Menuki (ornament) are on each side of the Tsuka.

Tsuba: The Tsuba (guard) of the sword is made of Zinc Alloy. The Habaki (blade collar) is a one piece brass construction. Two Seppas (spacer) secure the Tsuba.

Saya: The saya (sheath) of the sword is hard wood. Sageo has been tied around the bright copper Kurigaga (knob) of the scabbard. The Koiguchi has been hardened.”
