Hagane tsuke is a Japanese forging technique that creates a strong base from which to forge capable blades. This process, including the forging in fire, is an im-portant step in the manufacture of our high quality products.
02
After forging, the steel tang is stretched to accommodate the handle. Wooden or aluminum handles can be easily attached to the tang.

Heat treatment tempers the steel, altering the structure to achieve a much greater degree of hardness and toughness.

This delicate step requires a human hand. Their craftsmen use only a hammer and their intuition to transform the blade into the correct ergonomic shape.
