• This samurai sword is crafted with the ancient Longquan method that involves strict steps of hammering, hot forging, shoveling, filing, grinding, heat treatment, tempering, and many more. The sheath is traditionally hand-wrapped in copper, providing protection and restraint to the wooden sheath. This process prevents cracks due to weather changes and adds aesthetic appeal. The hilt is 26.5 cm long, and the sheath and fittings are made of brass.
