In swordsmithing, Hamon is a visible effect created on the blade by the hardening process. The hamon is the outline of the hardened zone which contains the cutting edge (ha). Blades made in this manner are known as differentially hardened, with a harder cutting edge than spine (for example: spine 40 HRC vs edge 58 HRC). This difference in hardness results from clay being applied on the blade prior to the cooling process. Less or no clay allows the edge to cool faster, making it harder but more brittle, while more clay allows the center and spine to cool slower, thus retaining its resilience.
Absolutely beautiful! Balanced perfectly, blade solid and sharp. Totally worth it and shipped quickly.

Handcrafted Full Tang Katana Sword T10 Carbon Steel With Real Hamon Blade |
This sword is absolutely quality. It is razor sharp. It is beautiful. And I should have gotten a stand for it. The handle is nice and firm. The blade is straight. The Ray skin is nice and real. The sheath is quality and the finish is beautiful. I just wish they didn't wrap the blade in plastic. It leaves marks on the blade because it wrinkles and leaves air pockets and makes the blade oxidize there.
