Enjoy the Paper Crane Katana
Paper crane katana
The Paper Crane katana is undoubtedly the highest quality level of Hanwei sword forging currently available.
The blade is forged from Hanwei’s own tamahagane steel and the fittings reflect the atmosphere of Japanese theater. The name of the katana comes from the art of paper folding (origami), and the depicted paper cranes adorn the striking
tsuba, fuchi, and kashira, which feature high-quality nanako (dot background).
The menuki depicts mime masks, which are used equally in Japanese and Western theater.
The saya houses a kozuka, which is decorated with musical instruments from the theater.
The origami theme also carries over to the extraordinary hand-woven silk sageo, which is the result of many hours of skillful work on the loom.
Tamahagane steel: it is produced by building and firing a traditional Japanese steel smelting furnace, the tatara. This charcoal furnace produces very pure steel from iron sand. The resulting steel kera (bloom) can be broken and separated into different pieces with varying carbon content, from which the blade core and the blade jacket can be formed. The blade jacket is now repeatedly forged and folded to remove inclusions and slag voids. It is then forged around the blade core before the resulting piece is forged into a blade, which is traditionally called kobuse construction. Careful heat treatment, shaping, and subsequent polishing reveal the hada as well as the white particles of the hamon. The result of this process is a katana that is not only very popular among enthusiasts and elegant in appearance among collectors, but also an extremely functional blade that has an especially hard edge thanks to its carbon-containing jacket and excellent strength and shock absorption thanks to its softer core.
