Information about the sword:
- Real Rayskin: This is a genuine leather obtained from the skin of the ray (sea ray), known in Japan as "Samegawa" (鮫皮). Japanese sword makers have used it for centuries to wrap the hilt of their katanas, due to its aesthetic qualities, high durability, natural hardness, luxurious and authentic appearance, superior control, rarity, and value.
- Manual Grind – A blade that is entirely hand-ground, where the cutting angles and edge thickness are precisely controlled by hand to achieve the optimal balance between sharpness and strength. This technique surpasses automated production processes, producing swords with superior sharpness, long edge retention, and exceptional combat performance. Each piece bears a unique mark; no two are alike.
- Sharpness - A 20-degree sharp sword ( possession of this sword is prohibited for those under 18 years of age ) . DICE disclaims responsibility for any misuse of this sword.
- Folded katana - Folded 8-16 times to remove impurities, increase strength and hardness, and make the blade more resistant to breakage.
- Clay Tempered - This katana is made using the Clay Tempering technique, which is one of the most important and famous methods of manufacturing authentic Japanese katana swords, and it is the main reason for the sword blade's distinction in terms of sharpness, flexibility, and beauty.
- Real Hamon - The real Hamon is a direct result of the traditional Clay Tempering process and is the distinctive line that appears on the blade of katana swords, often in a wavy, straight, or patterned form.
- Hand Forged & Sharp - This sword is hand-forged and sharpened to create a highly polished blade.
- Handmade - Expertly handcrafted by sword makers using time-honored techniques, each sword is carefully hand-shaped and individually designed in homage to tradition, culture, craftsmanship, and attention to the finest details.
- Full Tang - The blade extends along the entire length of the handle to be ideal for stability and durability during practical use (this design is the design of real katana swords that were owned by samurai warriors in ancient times).
