In swordsmithing, Hamon is a visible effect created on the blade by the hardening process. The hamon is the outline of the hardened zone which contains the cutting edge (ha). Blades made in this manner are known as differentially hardened, with a harder cutting edge than spine (for example: spine 40 HRC vs edge 58 HRC). This difference in hardness results from clay being applied on the blade prior to the cooling process. Less or no clay allows the edge to cool faster, making it harder but more brittle, while more clay allows the center and spine to cool slower, thus retaining its resilience.
Beautiful well built and shipped quick. Thank you again

Really happy with this set. Purchased for kendo kata (mainly demonstrations etc.), and they certainly fit the bill! The fittings are solid and the handling is excellent. An excellent choice for kata!

I bought 3 pieces quite close to Christmas. They arrived ON TIME, in overwhelming beautiful quality and perfection. I turned around as soon as I saw they were above and beyond legitimate, and ordered 2 more. My only hurdle, which may be my fault, was I found the same piece on 2 different pages one $118 sale, the other 159. I don't know if I needed to order each separately to get the discount at least on each item. But it's just not enough to complain? I still ordered 2 matching pieces to a Tonto that everyone is going crazy for as our last name is Wolf, AND it's a Tonto?
