Description:
Odachi or nodachi was a type of traditionally made Japanese sword used by the samurai class of feudal Japan. Odachi are difficult to produce because their length makes traditional heat treatment more complicated: The longer a blade is, the more difficult (and expensive) it is to heat the whole blade to a homogeneous temperature, both for annealing and to reach the hardening temperature. The quenching process then needs a bigger quenching medium because uneven quenching might lead to warping the blade.

Our products are 100% handmade, so specification varies slightly from sword to sword. We appreciate your understanding.
All our katana swords are hand forged by swordsmiths, the forging time about 7-15 days. For some high-performance swords may require longer hand forged processing time, depending on the difficulty of the craft.
