-Please note
 
       Usually we don't maintain the nakago part. Even some users won't remove the rust on the nakago because it can make the blade more firm. So the rust on nakago is not quality problem, if you cannot accept this,  please consider carefully before your purchase.
 
       There is no hole on the nakago/tang of the blade, you need drill it by yourself.  If you want us to drill it for u, please contact us before payment.
 
 
The Modern Style Polishing (Hadori Style Polishing 刃取)
 
      It is designed to highlight the aesthetics of the blade. In this style polishing, the hamon appears white against the black, shining steel and the mirror finished shinogi-ji. It is so aesthetic that it makes a blade perfect for display.
 
 
       The white pattern that looks like hamon is called "HADORI". It is not a true hamon, but it is designed by polisher along the hamon to exaggerate it. When you look at the blade under a proper light, you can see the true hamon under the hadori.
       With the modern polishing style, you can see the blades with aesthetically "made-up face".
This polishing style was developed by a famous polisher in the early 20th century.
 
 
Kobuse:

      The vast majority of modern katana and wakizashi are the maru type which is the most basic, with the entire sword being composed of a single steel. The kobuse type is made using two steels, which are called hagane (edge steel) and shingane (core steel). Steel of different materials is forged and welded together to hammer the basic shape of the sword. This allows the overall blade to have a higher toughness and absorb a lot of impact. Reducing the possibility of breaking or bending to some extent. Makes the blade not only has high hardness, but also has super toughness.
