Custom Samurai Sword – Hand Forged Folded Steel Clay Tempered Blade (Katana / Wakizashi / Tanto, Sashikomi or Hadori Style Polish)

This custom samurai sword is hand forged from traditional folded steel, created from a combination of T8 or T10 high carbon steel and 9260 spring steel. By repeatedly folding and forging these steels together, the process refines the internal structure of the metal, reduces impurities, and produces distinctive natural grain patterns known as hada, giving each blade a unique and beautiful appearance. The combination of high carbon steel and spring steel also helps balance hardness with toughness.

Each blade is crafted using a traditional clay tempering process, which creates differential hardening along the cutting edge. This method results in a harder edge for excellent cutting performance while maintaining a tougher spine for durability and shock resistance. The process also produces a visible and natural hamon (temper line), highlighting the craftsmanship and aesthetic beauty of the blade.

This sword is available in three classic Japanese blade sizes to suit different preferences:

Katana – The iconic long samurai sword, known for its balance, reach, and powerful cutting performance.

Wakizashi – A medium-length companion sword, versatile and easy to handle.

Tanto – A compact short blade valued for its strength, control, and precision.

To further customize the appearance of the blade, two traditional polishing styles are available:

Sashikomi Style Polish – A polishing technique that reveals the hamon naturally while preserving the authentic character of the blade.

Hadori Style Polish – A polishing method that enhances and highlights the hamon with a brighter and more defined contrast.

Each sword is individually forged and finished by skilled craftsmen, ensuring that every blade is unique in both pattern and character. Combining traditional forging methods with carefully selected steels, this custom samurai sword offers both aesthetic beauty and reliable performance, making it ideal for collectors, martial arts practitioners, and enthusiasts who appreciate the craftsmanship and heritage of Japanese blades.
