Hand Forged Japanese Nodachi 1095 Steel Japanese Long Sword Iron Tsuba Full Tang Battle Ready Sharp
Description: Odachi or nodachi was a type of traditionally made Japanese sword used by the samurai class of feudal Japan. Odachi is 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. Hand Forged 1095 Steel Japanese Long Sword Features: 1095 high carbon steel.
