All of these swords, which are forged at the Jewel forge,
are totally new on the market and probably one of the finest swords available
in this price range. While the forge is located in China, all of the fittings
& Ito that are being used on all of these 1060 steel swords, are imported
from Japan. Because these swords are rather cheap, it doesn’t
mean that they are “big overbuild choppers”, they are designed
by a Japanese sword smith and especially constructed for the Martial Arts
Practitioner! The biggest differences with his little brother (the 1060
steel sword) are the steel, treatment of the steel and the polish. The
Jewel forge took T10 steel to construct these swords and they used the
traditional clay-tempering process, which creates the Hamon. Once again,
fittings, ito and sageo were imported from Japan. The first stages of the polishing process were done by
machine, while the final stages were done by hand to guarantee a smooth
mirror finish. As you may want to own a more ‘traditional’
looking sword, you are probably looking for a katana with a nice and prominent
hada. In other words a Japanese sword with a forged and folded blade.
This range of Japanese swords is made of a combination of T10 and 1060
high carbon steel with a hybrid polish. In our exclusive collection we do offer 3 different types
of swords. All of these katana does have a traditional stone polish. This
process takes between 55-60 hours of work ! You will find 3 different
types listed below. The T10 monosteel blades, the forged & folded
katana and the highest class of our Japanese sword line, the Tamahagane
swords. The Japanese fittings, ito and sageo doesn’t make
them just look beautiful, they’re specially constructed for the
Martial Arts practitioner and does have a perfect balance & overall
performance. At our shop, we do understand that sword specifications
for an Iaidoka or any other Japanese martial artists & collectors
are very important and that the ‘standard’ offered katana
are not always suitable for everyone. So we heard you and are at this point capable to offer
you fully customized katanas ! Copyright ©2002-2008
