TAMAHAGANE STEEL
Sort By :      

  • Tamahagane steel is made be building and firing a Tatara, the traditional Japanese sword-steel smelter. This charcoal-fired furnace produces very pure steel from iron sand.
  • This steel “Kera”, or bloom, can be broken and separated into high and low-carbon pieces, which respectively form the “skin” steel and “core” steel of the blade. The skin steel is forged and folded repeatedly to remove slag inclusions and voids. It is then wrapped around the core steel before the resulting billet is forged into a blade.
  • Careful heat-treating, shaping and polishing reveals the tight “Hada”, or layer pattern, of the blade, and the white particles of the “Hamon”, or temper line. While this process results in the aesthetic qualities much admired by collectors, it also produces a very functional blade.
  • The high carbon content of the skin steel makes a very hard edge possible, while the softer core steel gives the blade its resilience and ability to absorb shock.
