53" Odachi Japanese Long Sword 1095 Carbon Steel Functional Sharp-Ryan1274

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. The blade is made of 1095 high carbon steel and full tang, the tsuka is wrapped with genuine rayskin and synthetic leather ito. The saya is made of hardwood. The sword is sharp and battle ready.
