The Tachi sword was among the most frequently used edged weapons on the samurai battlefields, even before the Katana existed. This particular blade, a replica of a Tachi prominent during the Kamakura period (1185-1333), was extensively used by foot and cavalry units. It’s a premium piece of art that’s also truly functional, made from reliable 1060 high carbon steel known for its perfect mix of flexibility and toughness.<\/p>\n
The full-tang, double-pegged blade ensures security and features a genuine hamon, achieved through historically accurate clay tempering for perfect hardness. The blade details are even further enhanced through a long and very intricate polishing process, that involves the use of traditional hazuya stones. The handle, traditionally wrapped with rough rayskin under a smooth silk tsuka-maki, allows for a firm grip. <\/p>\n
Furthermore, the scabbard is crafted from hardwood and wrapped with rayskin, while the fittings\u2014richly adorned with the Japanese lion symbolizing power\u2014are made of brass.<\/p>\n
The entire sword can be fully assembled or disassembled for inspecting its fittings and tang while allowing for more thorough maintenance. It comes with a free sword bag for better storage and a paper of authenticity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
