Hand Forged Odachi Sword Clay Tempered Japanese Long Sword Copper Tsuba Shell Saya Honsanmai – Color:Brown – HAND SHARPENING:Sharpened

DescriptionDescription:Odachi or nodachi was a type of traditionally made Japanese sword used by the samurai class of feudal Japan. Odachi are difficult to produce because their length makes traditional heat treatment more complicated: The longer a blade is, the more difficult (and expensive) it is to heat the whole blade to a homogeneous temperature, both for annealing and to reach the hardening temperature. The quenching process then needs a bigger quenching medium because uneven quenching might lead to warping the blade.This Hand Forged Odachi Sword features a clay tempered Japanese long sword with a single-edged blade, ideal for foot soldiers and field sword use. With a remarkable blade length, it combines the craftsmanship of Japanese katana and odachi sword traditions, complemented by a copper tsuba, shell saya, and honsanmai construction for enhanced strength and durability.Features:1095 high carbon steel folded steel.
