For those wishing to build a custom Samurai sword on a Hanwei blade, we offer in Shirasaya the blade used in the Tiger Katana (Model 1204-GT), which has met the cutting demands of users worldwide. This is the grooved version (see Model 1231-GT for the grooved version). It is forged and folded in ASSAB K-120C powder steel, differentially tempered in the traditional fashion with a distinctive hamon, and is pre-fitted with its habaki. The Japanese hardwood Shirasaya is solidly made to provide safe storage of the blade.
