Unparalleled Craftsmanship & Regal Design

A Blade Forged for Perfection

• Clay Tempered Folded Steel: The heart of this Qing Dao is its robust, hand-forged folded steel blade. The steel is folded to create thousands of layers, resulting in a beautiful and authentic grain pattern (HADA). The blade then undergoes a precise clay tempering process, creating a prominent and beautiful hamon (temper line), which selectively hardens the edge for superior sharpness while keeping the spine flexible.

• Masterful Hazuya Polish: The blade receives a meticulous Hazuya polish, a specialized technique that enhances the natural beauty of the steel's layers and its visible hamon. This intensive polishing process brings out the intricate details and gives the blade its signature gleam.

• Full Tang Construction: For superior strength, balance, and durability, the blade is constructed with a full tang, extending through the entire handle. This robust design makes the sword incredibly solid and reliable.

Dragon Fittings and Genuine Stingray Skin Scabbard

• Pure Copper Dragon Fittings: The sword is adorned with magnificent pure copper fittings that feature a majestic dragon motif and a beautiful antique finish. In Chinese culture, the dragon is the most revered creature, symbolizing imperial authority, good fortune, and raw power.

• Genuine Stingray Skin Scabbard: The sword is housed in a premium wooden scabbard, expertly wrapped in genuine stingray skin (Samegawa). This material is not only visually stunning but also provides a durable, textured surface, historically reserved for high-status weapons.

• Ebony Wood Handle: The handle is crafted from a comfortable, high-quality ebony wood, providing a secure grip that perfectly complements the scabbard's luxurious feel.
