The Uryuu set is the fruition of several earlier designs in U no Kubi tsukuri (Cormerant's neck style). The blade is austere, balanced and without the adornments of any grooves often seen in this style. The blade is hand forged from a single AISI 1070 steel billet. The hamon is authentically achieved by a process of clay-backing and tempering, producing a martensite edge and pearlite body. The edge and polish are finished by hand with natural and synthetic polishing stones for non-decorative practioner's finish. The fittings are of quality lost wax castings in blackened brass and cupernickle alloy. The handle is fit with genuine rayskin panels wrapped with silk cord. The sheath is hand carved softwood lacquered in multiple layers to create an orange-peel finish for a superior grip.
