Each piece
in the Kami group features a hand-forged and folded ASSAB-K120C powder steel
blade, differentially tempered to produce an HRC60 edge, HRC40 back and a distinctive
hamon.
Saya
are deeply lacquered in red, with a black ring-carved
section at the sageo. The ray skin used on the
tsuka is of the highest quality, and the tsuka-ito
on the Katana and Wakizashi and the sageo on
all three pieces are woven from best quality
Japanese silk.
The
Fuchi, Kashira, Kojiri, Koiguchi and Kurigata
are all made from blackened bronze, with decoration
in relief and selective detailing of copper,
silver and gold. The Tsuba of the Katana and
Wakizashi, depicting the Kami, or Guardian Warriors,
are made from hardened blackened copper, with
decoration in relief and selective silver and
gold detailing.
The
Habaki is of two-piece construction, the inner
section being copper and the outer section gold-plated
brass. The blades are engraved, at the Habaki,
with a hand-engraved "Fudo" horomono, a traditional
blade carving from the Edo period. The blades
of all three pieces are grooved on both sides,
and each piece features a long Kissaki.
