Regalia Heirloom-grade: The material will be of the highest possible selection, and if you wish, I will include special steel from my unique and limited collection. Currently available are antique Tamahagane temple nails.
These are very rare tamahagane nails from a 1300 year-old historical temple called Suo-Kokubunji, saved during the renovation of the temple. The sword will be fitted with a custom-made habaki in gold, and a custom made shira-saya of the highest grade, as well as a custom-made katana-bukuro in premium quality.
