Blood groove katana
Hand forged swordDescription
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.
This Samurai sword is a marvel of traditional craftsmanship fused with modern steel mastery. This exceptional blade is forged from high-quality manganese steel, known for its durability and resistance to abrasion, making it an outstanding choice for both collectors and martial arts enthusiasts.
Myths and beliefs about the Blood groove katana
The Blood Groove Katana features a distinct groove running along the flat of the blade. Commonly known as the 'fuller' or 'blood groove', this feature is surrounded by myths and legends. Some believe it is designed to allow blood to flow and prevent suction when withdrawing the sword from an enemy, thus enhancing its lethal efficiency. However, the true purpose of the groove is to reduce the weight of the blade without sacrificing its strength, providing a swift and agile handling experience.

Our blade's elegant curve and razor-sharp edge are the result of a meticulous forging process, where the manganese steel is heated, hammered, and folded to achieve an optimal balance between flexibility and hardness.

How the Blood groove katana is forged
This iconic Japanese sword is traditionally forged using a meticulous and time-intensive process. The blade is typically made from a combination of iron sands and charcoal that has been smelted in a traditional furnace. The steel is then repeatedly heated, folded, and hammered to remove impurities and create a strong, durable blade with a sharp edge.
The resulting sword is not only a functional weapon, but also a work of art that embodies the rich cultural history of Japan.
