Damascus Blade Craftsmanship
The Damascus Tachi features a blade forged from high-quality Damascus steel. Known for its distinctive wavy patterns and superior strength, Damascus steel offers both beauty and performance.

Koshirae of the Damascus Tachi
The handle (tsuka) is wrapped in a vibrant blue silk cord over ray skin, creating a striking contrast that highlights the tachi's design. The detailed menuki (ornaments under the wrap) and the fuchi-kashira (pommel and collar) are crafted with precision, adding subtle elegance to the sword. The saya (scabbard) is finished in a deep blue lacquer, adorned with intricate designs, providing a cohesive and sophisticated look that complements the blade and handle. The sageo (cord) is intricately tied, adding to the overall aesthetic.

How the Damascus Tachi 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.
