After the Smith is done with the blade, the final person to work on it is the Togishi. His job is to polish and sharpen the blade. First of all, the Togishi uses a special process to hand-polish and grind the blade. At the start, the blade is very rough, and has many imperfections. At the end, the blade has a “mirror-like” look, and reveals the inner beauty of the forging process. Moreover, the Togishi can also use a “Hazuya Polishing” process to polish and refine the blade. It’s a special type of polishing which uses the special Hazuya stone to enhance and create a beautiful effect on the blade.
We therefore use High-Carbon steel for most of our swords, as it provides: A Strong, Hard Blade First off, a carbon steel sword’s blade is extremely strong — much stronger than a stainless steel sword. Japanese swordsmiths employed carbon steel to create katana swords after learning about this characteristic of the material in feudal Japan. Carbon steel swords can withstand combat whereas other metal swords are readily broken when needed. Swords made of carbon steel also have the advantage of having a lasting edge. In other words, the sword’s sharpened blade won’t break or simply shatter. Before carbon steel was developed, the Samurai would repeatedly sharpen their knives. Just a little amount of pressure might have harmed their blade, so they had to be very meticulous with it. Carbon steel swords, on the other hand, are more resistant to this kind of harm due to their strength, allowing them to keep their edge.
In order to be usable, a katana needs to have a full-tang blade, meaning the blade has a part of steel going into the handle through the Habaki (blade collar) with a wrap (Ito) over it. That part of steel must be nearly the same width as the blade – which constitutes a full tang. Real, functional swords always have a full tang blade. There are other types of tang, which are of lesser quality and risk breaking when handled. One is the rat tang style, which can be seen in the picture under. A rat tang is usually welded to the blade, and thus is separate to it. While a rat tang might cut costs for the manufacturer, it makes for a much weaker blade. The sword’s handle could break at anytime, especially while hitting harder targets. Rat-tang blades, or any partial tang blades are definitely not recommended for cutting or martial arts practice – they’re wall-hangers.
Carbon Folded or Unfolded Steel. The most widely used steel type for swords is High-Carbon Steel. This is a type of steel that (). Carbon Steel can also be Folded (creating the beautiful “Damascus Steel” pattern) and Clay-Tempered to create a Hamon. Spring Steel. Another very widely used type of steel is Spring Steel.

This makes its core soft and its outer, cutting part very hard – a truly superior blade. It’s also polished with our special Hazuya stone giving it an amazing look.
