Hand Forged 53inch Nodachi Japanese Samurai Long Sword Folded Steel Reddish Black Blade

Long Black and Red Nodachi Long Katana Odachi or nodachi was a type of traditionally made Japanese sword used by the samurai class of feudal Japan. Odachi are difficult to produce because their length makes traditional heat treatment more complicated: The longer a blade is, the more difficult (and expensive) it is to heat the whole blade to a homogeneous temperature, both for annealing and to reach the hardening temperature. The quenching process then needs a bigger quenching medium because uneven quenching might lead to warping the blade. This Hand Forged 53-inch Nodachi features a folded steel reddish-black blade, showcasing traditional craftsmanship from the Edo period. A perfect long sword for collectors and martial arts enthusiasts. Long Black and Red Nodachi Features: Folded steel. Full Tang, clay tempered. Battle ready, not just a collectible. Traditional craftsmanship, hand forged, hand polished. Perfect balance, comfortable grip. Gives away a free sword bag and spare mekug
