Amazing details of our Gokudo Shoto sword

​

The nagasa is completely hand forged, hazuya-polished (mirror polished) and sharpened by our sword smiths using strong and versatile T10 steel. It features a unique 25 centimetres long kissaki, an overflowingly gorgeous real clay tempered hamon and a dragon horimono figure, fully engraved by hand. A wide bo-hi on both sides of the blade improving the balance, equipped with razor sharp cutting edge. With a whopping 40mm motohaba, this is the widest blade we yet have forged.

 

The Gokudo Shoto sword has absolutely stunning and stylish details. The solid hardwood shirasaya-aikuchi style tsuka is fully wrapped with black samegawa rayskin, ensuring a maximum grip. The custom-made copper habaki features hand engraved japanese kanji letters that stand for BattleBlades. Hand finished fitted fuchi and kashira are made from blackened iron. The all black, water-drop lacquered saya features genuine buffalo horn kojiri, koiguchi and kurikata, finalized with black premium grade silk sageo for a dashing entirety.
