The blade
1060 steel with a decorative scalloped hamon
The blade is specified as 1060 carbon steel, full tang and sharpened. Its rounded, scalloped line is identified in the model information as machine-made decoration. It is not presented as an authentic clay-tempered hamon. The polished blade measures 72 cm, with a simple brass collar at its base and very little metal ornament around the handle.
