Overview
Thaitsuki - Roiyaru Sanmai Katana
The Roiyaru Sanmai Katana has a Koto-style blade that was skillfully hand-forged in the traditional sanmai laminated construction method which melds panels of forge-folded high carbon steel together to form a composite blade with an inner core of shock absorbing steel of 35 Hrc for resilience and an exterior of hardened 65 Hrc steel to ensure it has excellent edge retention and resistance to wear. The blade edge and its side panels are formed from folded T8 high carbon steel and this has been melded with a core and spine of folded T10 high carbon steel. After the folding process of its components the blade possesses a total of 1024 individual layers. A closer look at the blade will reveal the ripple-like patterning of the folded steel, as well as a faint line denoting where the hardened edge steel was forge-welded into form. Visible among this is also the wave-like hamon line which was created when the blade was clay tempered in the traditional manner to imbue it with a genuine hamon of hardened steel. The blade was completed with a high level of polish which was painstakingly executed to give it a fine sheen which highlights the beauty of its complex construction and its hamon.
The sword is paired with a fine koshirae mounting to both match and dignify the blade with an elevated setting. The Habak and Seppa are of fine handcrafted silver and the fuchi, and kashira are of blackened and antiqued brass with silver accents. The highly detailed tsuba is of blackened and antiqued brass. The hardwood tsuka grip is inlaid with black lacquered rayskin of high quality and overlaid with tightly woven gold-brown imported Japanese silk tsuka-ito with fine silver flowered menuki beneath.
The well-carved wooden Saya scabbard is carefully coated with a hand-rubbed textured brown lacquer with embellished with silver accents, including a silver sayajiri at its tip. A Japanese silk sageo of light-brown cord is knotted to the Saya to complete it. The sword comes with a green silk sword bag and manufacturer's production certificate.
PLEASE NOTE: There may be some minor to moderate cosmetic blemishing present on the scabbard and minor blemishing on the blade. These are handcrafted and hand-finished so minor cosmetic imperfections may be present.

The Maker
Thaitsuki Nihonto
It all began over 400 years ago with a commanding officer stationed in Thailand, who passed on sword making traditions to the Sivarat family. Today Thaitsuki Swords, owned by the Sivarat family, is recognized across the world for their superior heirloom quality. Each sword is individually produced by highly trained smiths, marked with a serial numbered and packaged with a signed certificate of authenticity.
Thaitsuki Nihonto specializes in melding blades of excellent quality with distinguished and elevated koshirae hilt fittings and a premium saya scabbard. Where other brands will cut corners on the finer points of fit and finish of koshirae and blade polish, Thaitsuki Nihonto follows through to create an exquisitely well crafted sword which has had the attention of a skilled craftsman hand-finishing each step to ensure an excellent fit and finish throughout. From Thaitsuki you can expect to see blades of skillfully forged steel, a superb blade polish, components of higher quality metals, a well-knotted grip wrap, finely lacquered scabbard, high quality samegawa rayskin, and close attention paid to details such as a tight and flush fit between the scabbard opening and its encased koiguchi.
