Blade & metallurgy
The folded billet is drawn and consolidated to create a visible flowing grain. Final geometry and polish are completed after heat treatment so the shinogi and kissaki remain clearly defined.
The StoryMaterial first.
Material first.
Purpose throughout.
The commission began with a simple brief: let the steel carry the visual weight. Ornament is concentrated at the tsuba and fuchi-kashira, while the remaining surfaces stay dark and tactile. Each example is assembled and checked in Longquan before export preparation.
Solar Bloom pairs a 73 cm folded-steel blade with carved copper fittings and an ebony-finished saya. The geometry is kept visually calm: a clean shinogi, moderate sori and a polish intended to reveal the layered hada without an exaggerated mirror finish.
