Of all the weapons in existence, none possesses the aura of the Japanese sword. Long before scientists and metallographers delved into the secrets of steel, obscure master swordsmiths developed complex and refined manufacturing systems to give blades seemingly irreconcilable qualities: hardness and strength, but also sharpness and flexibility. These blades are so perfect that they seem to have come straight from another planet! The ancients were convinced that the sword housed a divine spirit that gave them the strength to vanquish evil. The art of these venerable master swordsmiths has been passed down through the centuries and generations, enriched by the contributions of each; it is at the origin of the magnificent masterpieces of power and beauty created by the blacksmiths of the 21st century.
