The blade
1060 steel with a cherry blossom finish
The blade is 1060 carbon steel, full tang and sharpened. Its decorative surface carries a pale sakura branch near the collar, with the blue finish continuing along the blade. The 72 cm blade is part of a full-size, 105 cm sword. This is a steel collector's piece, even though its bright colors give it a very different appearance from plain polished steel.
