Every single piece of the sword must fit together perfectly. A functional, balanced Japanese sword is the end-result of the Assembler‘s work. Finally, the blade has to be sharpened. Initially, rough, low-grain grindstones are used to sharpen katana blades, and then progressively, finer, higher-grain grindstones are utilised. Once the blade’s entire length is sharpened, the Togishi has to work on the tip (the kissaki), and uses a different technique to make it extra-sharp. Once the saya and tsuka are built, the handle has to be assembled along with the handle guard (tsuba), and blade collars, fuchi, menuki, etc. The handle is held in place to the tang by Mekugi (two small wooden cylinders).

High-Carbon Steels: the forger’s favourite. The most widely used steel type for swords is High-Carbon Steel. It is made of steel with a carbon alloy, as the name would imply, for improved qualities. Three broad categories can be used to separate carbon steel: Low carbon steel, often called mild steel, medium carbon steel, and high carbon steel are the three types of steel. Carbon Steel can also be Folded (creating the beautiful “Damascus Steel” pattern) and Clay-Tempered to create a Hamon. Low-Carbon Steel (also called Mild Steel), with its 0.04% to 0.30% carbon content. It can be used to create sheet and strip for presswork, tin-plates, wires, rods, tubing, car bodies, screws, concrete reinforcement bars, structural steel plates and sections for houses and buildings, etc.

It’s a much better steel for a functional than for example, stainless steel – which is often used on decorational swords. Stainless steel is a very hard type of steel – which can become brittle and gets easily damaged under impact. It is, however, easy to maintain and care for – it can hang on the wall for a very long time. Now, some swords that are in fact “wall-hangers” are also made of High-Carbon steel. This is where we have to look beneath the surface. More precisely: under the handle wrap and its wooden core.

Carbon Folded or Unfolded Steel. The most widely used steel type for swords is High-Carbon Steel. This is a type of steel that (). Carbon Steel can also be Folded (creating the beautiful “Damascus Steel” pattern) and Clay-Tempered to create a Hamon. Spring Steel. Another very widely used type of steel is Spring Steel. It’s the favorite steel type of the survivalist, for it is very resistant and can withstand heavy bending and come back to its normal shape. Kobuse Steel. Then, we have Kobuse Steel – our Premium steel at Swords for Sale. This is a mix of Clay-Tempered 1095 Steel for the Core of its blade, and 1095 Folded Steel for its outer part. This makes its core soft and its outer, cutting part very hard – a truly superior blade. It’s also polished with our special Hazuya stone giving it an amazing look.

A hand-forged sword that will last generations, at a reasonable price, should never be a distant dream. The sword of your dreams can actually be custom-made… just for you. We have Japanese and Chinese swords for sale, like the katana, wakizashi, ninjato, tanto knife, and also the more artistic Chinese dao and jiang swords. The katana is the original and most widely known Japanese sword. It was first created and worn by the Samurai – and also used and re-purposed by the Ninja – or Shinobi (who weren’t in fact wearing a black outfit and covered their face at all).
