Forged from folded steel in traditional Maru-zukuri construction, the blade reveals a subtle jihada beneath its surface—an expression of repeated folding and careful refinement that gives the steel both visual depth and a distinctly organic character. The overall form remains balanced and graceful, offering a refined presence in both handling and display.\u003cspan aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"480\" data-end=\"920\"\u003eThe blade is clay tempered, displaying a gentle \u003cstrong data-start=\"528\" data-end=\"549\"\u003eNotare Wave Hamon\u003c\/strong\u003e that flows along the edge like rolling waves.
