Gomai Steel Folded Forged Katana Blade
Gomai Folded Forged Katana Blade | Clay Tempered | Mirror Polish | Masame Hada
This katana blade is forged in the traditional Gomai (five-layer) construction, with a hard steel core supported by multiple folded outer layers for both strength and resilience. The use of folded high carbon steel produces a distinctive masame-hada (straight grain pattern), reflecting the refined character of traditional craftsmanship.
The blade undergoes clay tempering (differential hardening), creating a hardened edge and a flexible spine for an ideal balance of cutting ability and durability. Polishing is executed with precision: the edge area (ji) is finished to a misty white surface, while the shinogi-ji (ridge surface) is brought to a mirror shine. This striking contrast emphasizes the elegant hamon line that flows beautifully along the edge. The cutting edge itself is razor-sharp, capable of delivering clean and precise cuts.
Customization options are available to suit your preference:
-
Bohi (groove): With or without bohi
-
Hamon (temper line): Straight hamon or wave hamon
In addition to katana-sized blades, wakizashi and tanto sizes can also be custom-made. You can also add a Shirasaya, a plain wooden mount used for storage and preservation. For more details, please contact us directly.
