Japanese Tachi Hazuya Polished Full Tang Blade

The Tachi sword was among the most frequently used edged weapons on the samurai battlefields, even before the Katana existed. This particular blade, a replica of a Tachi prominent during the Kamakura period (1185-1333), was extensively used by foot and cavalry units. It's a premium piece of art that's also truly functional, made from reliable 1060 high carbon steel known for its perfect mix of flexibility and toughness.

The full-tang, double-pegged blade ensures security and features a genuine hamon, achieved through historically accurate clay tempering for perfect hardness. The blade details are even further enhanced through a long and very intricate polishing process, that involves the use of traditional hazuya stones. The handle, traditionally wrapped with rough rayskin under a smooth silk tsuka-maki, allows for a firm grip.

Furthermore, the scabbard is crafted from hardwood and wrapped with rayskin, while the fittings—richly adorned with the Japanese lion symbolizing power—are made of brass.

The entire sword can be fully assembled or disassembled for inspecting its fittings and tang while allowing for more thorough maintenance. It comes with a free sword bag for better storage and a paper of authenticity.
