Shirasaya Katana

This is a traditional full hand-forged Shirasaya Katana created with 9260 Folded Spring Steel.
The Shirasaya is a full tang blade, double pegged (bamboo Mekugi).
The Blood Groove or Bohi creates good balance and make the sword easier to wield.
Although pliable, a 9260 spring steel Shirasaya is also durable. It can cut through many different targets, which includes bamboo poles and Tatami mats.
The blade has a beautiful grain pattern (HADA) with 8192 layers of steel, making Shirasaya a highly-valued sword because of its craftsmanship. The layers were a result of folding the 9260 Folded Spring Steel repeatedly for 13 times.

9260 Folded Spring Steel Shirasaya

Usually, the exterior section of the Shirasaya was featureless and only had the mekugi ana (peg hole) that secures the tang of the sword. So only the Rosewood Saya With Buffalo Horn tips and handle was visible and appear a lot more like plain wood.
The blade of your Shirasaya Katana weighs 1.3KG. It is 3.2 cm wide, 72 cm long, while its handle length measures 25 cm.
The Rosewood Saya With Buffalo Horn tips is actually the protective covering of your Shirasaya and allow for quick drawing of the blade when utilized for practice cutting or Iaido.
