Blood groove katana

Katana with blood groove

Forged from tamahagane steel, this katana has a Bohi (blood groove). Beyond the aesthetics of the bohi, this groove allows the katana to be lighter by removing the unnecessary excess steel. The blade of the blood groove katana is tempered thanks to the traditional clay coating technique, leaving martensite crystals and the Hamon.
