It is fully hand-forged, hand-polished and hand-sharpened. This blade is made of folded steel and has folded 12 times to create the 4096 layers to increase the flexibility and hardness of the blade and a distinct texture is left on the blade as a result of the repeated folding during the process. The visible tenuous undulating grain on the blade was resulted from folded repeatedly during forging. Bo-hi (blood groove) is on each side of the blade. The blade has been special treated black/blue/gold acid which increases the aesthetic value of the sword as a whole.The black/blue/gold acid does not affect the quality or functionality of the blade.
