Thankfully, there are smiths in other countries which hand-forge and sell exquisite katanas for a fraction of that price. Instead of dealing in thousands, they deal in hundreds, which is much more reasonable. And they’re able to create really good, battle-ready works of art. Modern swordsmiths don’t use Tamahagane steel – but instead Damascus Steel, which can be worked with in great ways. There are also many types of guards (tsuba), scabbards (saya), and other pieces which can create truly beautiful Japanese swords – especially custom katana swords.
The quality and strength of the sword are likely to suffer if a batch of steel has a lot of impurities in it. Any blade frequently can develop weaknesses due to impurities – and have problems on the length of the blade as it is used. This issue can be quickly found and resolved during the folding process. Carbon is present everywhere throughout the length of the steel blade. However, the blade can become brittle and possibly break if a significant amount of carbon is deposited in some parts of the steel and not throughout the blade. However, folding the blade multiple times leads to stronger blades. Because the steel’s carbon deposits are equally spread throughout, there are much fewer chances of weak spots. Folding a blade is done in the forging process. It is done by taking a high-carbon steel block and elongating it, then “folding” it on top of itself.
How does the sword feel? When handled and while using it, the sword should feel solid and always within control. The handle or the blade collar (habaki) shouldn’t move, and the wrap (ito) should feel tightened to perfection in our hands. All its parts have to be tightened together and fitting properly. This “feel” – along with the steel type and the blade’s tang – is what makes a katana usable – the main features of a sword which isn’t made to be a wall-hanger. When you’re buying a sword online, there are different things you need to consider depending on your needs – but most importantly – you need to look at the names and titles sellers use on their products.
Carbon Folded or Unfolded Steel. The most widely used steel type for swords is High-Carbon Steel. This is a type of steel that (). Carbon Steel can also be Folded (creating the beautiful “Damascus Steel” pattern) and Clay-Tempered to create a Hamon. Spring Steel. Another very widely used type of steel is Spring Steel.

This makes its core soft and its outer, cutting part very hard – a truly superior blade. It’s also polished with our special Hazuya stone giving it an amazing look.
One by one, each sword is hand-forged, assembled, and reviewed by swordsmiths, blade polishers, and sword assemblers over the course of weeks. The blade is always the longest thing to make. The steel has to be selected, forged and perhaps folded (for the beautiful “Damascus” pattern), and can also be clay-tempered to create a beautiful natural hamon line.
