Electroplating:

The electroplating process gives the blade its distinctive red color, using modern techniques to create a vibrant and durable surface layer. This is the only contemporary process used, while all other forging methods remain traditional.

Tsuba:

The Tsuba, located above the saya, is ornamented and made through metal fusion. It serves to protect the user's hand from sliding onto the blade during training practice.

The Habaki (Blade Collar):

The Habaki is a metal piece that separates the sword's blade from the sheath. It has both an aesthetic and functional purpose, ensuring the connection between both. Small scratches are normal due to usage.

Hi:

The groove on the side of the blade opposite the edge was added to provide audible feedback during practice and make the sword lighter without compromising stability and strength.
