Exquisite item!!

 
 
This is a nice handmade katana from Damascus steel. It is a full tang sword and it is fully functional. There are a couple small chips in the scabbard from age, but this sword is in a very good condition.
 
This is a real sword made by a master sword smith by hand. It is not a cheap fake with a spot-welded rod for a handle. This Katana has a handmade blade with a nice pattern in the skin.
 
Real handmade swords have a wood grain like pattern in the outer skin called the jihada. It comes from laminating many layers of steel to make the blade flexible. The blades are made by starting with a piece of hard steel to serve as the foundation of the sword. The skin is made of hundreds of layers of softer steel that serves as a way to make the sword more flexible and resistant to breaking. Next the sword is covered in a ceramic like clay with just the cutting portion of the blade exposed and heated and tempered. This results in a very hard cutting edge on a flexible yet hard blade. Then the blade is adorned with artwork like the tsuba and handle and scabbard.
 
The machine made blades are not as valuable, and do not have such a beautiful and important quality. It is not certain how old this sword is and one would need an appraisal from a professional Samurai Sword expert for more information.
 
Size: aprox 42"/106 cm, blade 28"/72 cm
