Aoi Uroko no Hebi Katana

The Aoi Uroko no Hebi, or "碧鳞蛇," is a beautifully made katana that shows the skill and tradition of Japanese sword-making. It is made from T10 steel and has a special "3-pattern" hamon, created through careful clay tempering. The blade is polished by hand in 18 steps, giving it a shiny mirror finish that looks great and works well. It is very hard, reaching up to 60 HRC, which means it is strong and sharp enough to cut through iron easily. The katana is 103 cm long overall, with a 71 cm blade and a 26.5 cm handle, weighing about 1.32 kg. It comes with a wooden scabbard that is painted and a nicely designed handle, showing the important culture and skill that went into making this special sword.
