The entire saya and handle are made of high quality rosewood which shows a natural elegant wood grain pattern. Blade: The blade of the sword has been forge folded. By hand the sword smith painstakingly stacks and forges individual layers of steel. This technique can be easily seen by the unique patterning of the steel on the blade. Traditionally this wood like grain pattern is known as the water mark. This blade has a subtle grain. This is a more traditional approach to forge folding; the water mark is allowed to be shown off in its own natural beauty. The Kissake is well defined. The blade is sharp, full tang and fully functional. Saya: The Saya has been constructed from high quality Rosewood. An authentic high quality black buffalo horn has been added on both the throat and tip of saya. Tsuka: The whole Tsuka itself is also made of high quality ebony wood and the blade tang is secured by two bamboo mekugi pins. Just like the saya, the tsuka has an authentic high quality black buffalo horn installed at both ends of the tsuka.
