Hand Forged Japanese Wakizashi Sword Folded Steel Sharp Clay Tempered Samurai

Description: Hand Forged Japanese Wakizashi Sword Folded Steel Sharp Clay Tempered SamuraiJapanese swords were often forged with different profiles, different blade thicknesses, and varying amounts of grind. The forging of a Japanese blade typically took weeks or even months and was considered a sacred art. As with many complex endeavors, rather than a single craftsman, several artists were involved. There was a smith to forge the rough shape, often a second smith (apprentice) to fold the metal, a specialist polisher (called a togi) as well as the various artisans that made the various fittings used to decorate the finished blade and saya (sheath). It is said that the sharpening and polishing process takes just as long as the forging of the blade itself.After the blade is finished it is passed on to a mountings-maker, or sayashi. The obvious part of the hilt consists of a metal or wooden grip called a tsuka, which can also be used to refer to the entire hilt. The hand guard, or tsuba, on Japanese swords is small and round, made of metal or alloy, and often very ornate.There is a pommel at the base known as a kashira, and there is often a decoration under the braided wrappings called a menuki. A bamboo peg called a mekugi is slipped through the tsuka and through the tang of the blade, using the hole called a mekugi-ana ("peg hole") drilled in it. This anchors the blade securely into the hilt. To anchor the blade securely into the sheath it will soon have, the blade acquires a collar, or habaki, which extends an inch or so past the hand guard and keeps the blade from rattling.The saya is decorative or battle-worthy sheath.
