A Closer Look: Sw768Bl Blue Dragon Katana Sword Review
Have you ever wondered why the Japanese samurai is a one of a kind warrior and his weapon has become a good collector's item? Since the ancient time, it is not uncommon to witness some of the finest hand crafted samurai swords, which are pounded and hammered by trained artisans. The weapon that brings respect and integrity is considered as a priceless treasure for most samurai.
A decorative sword like the SW768BL Blue Dragon Katana Sword is a katana with an unsharpened edge. Its edge can be sharper than a razor, however this blade was not processed using the conventional procedure of forging a katana, and therefore it is a decorative sword only. However, it features an authentic blue handle wrap with faux ray skin and oxidized copper furniture. The blade is 27 inches long and an overall weight of 2.1 pounds, yet it is another one of the finest collection for a reasonable price.
What's the difference between a functional sword from a decorative katana? An authentic sword undergoes the traditional Japanese katana making process. Originally, the blade should be made from two distinctive metals, which adds strength and performance. Usually 1050 and 1095 high carbon steel is being forged together for several times and this process is repeated until a minimum number of folds has attained. This procedure will produce an excellent edge which is flexible and resilient enough to shearing.
Clearly, most decorative swords are not folded this way. This thing couldn't even cut through ice on a warm day. Some of these items are made sharp but they are typically made from stainless steel or aluminum. They are dubbed as "wall hangers" and are good looking replica's of some 16th century samurai katana.
On a real katana, you can see the visible undulating textures on the blade. This is noticeable since the blade is folded several times during forging. After the pounding process, the blade is hand polished to several stone grades to eliminate the existing metals and cause a smooth shiny surface. The blades are then clay hardened and edged at least 12 times. Furthermore, some craftsmen had chiseled some patterns and information on the blade making it more exotic.
While a decorative sword like the SW768BL Blue Dragon Katana can be made sharp and looks deceiving as it could appear to cut your enemies on a battleground, trust me, the blade can be easily broken after two strikes.
Why you need to have a piece of it?
The guard (Tsuba) is constructed from oxidized copper and is inscribed with dragon patterns. The tsuba commences with a copper blade collar and ends with a copper fitting which intensifies the dragons in the relief. The handle is bundled and covered with faux ray skin, which is then wrapped with a blue silk wrap. This sword is not a real fighting sword; however it is secured with two pegs.
The scabbard is basically made of wood. Some of the existing Blue Dragon Katana today is wrapped with ray or shark skin and is lacquered in black with glossy finished. The SW768BL Blue Dragon Katana Sword is unique among the rest, with its black scabbard and with an engraved blue dragon sketch, you cannot find something similar like this.
Like the bokken, this is also not a real fighting sword and it is prone to oxidation. So, if you're planning to own something like this, it will be helpful to know how to care and clean this equipment.
