Why is it better to purchase a forged blade?
The forging process defines the Japanese Samurai Sword. Authentic Samurai Swords were hand forged. A lot of companies are selling different types of steel swords. Most of the time these blades are not forged and therefore do not have the integrity of a forged blade. The forging provides the best and equal dispersion of carbon throughout the steel so as to achieve an excellent strength of the blade which you will never get with modern blades that are stamped or milled out by the 1000’s without any dispersion of the carbon. Our smith has a complete control and freedom to determine how much each blade needs to be worked in order to achieve the best results.
