If you mean that if we melt our own iron from ore and make steel out of it, then no, we don't do it. We use spring steel and forge it to blade. But rest of the sword is just like it should be. Handle is wrapped like it was traditionally etc. Price of one sword is $600 USD plus shipping. I know it might sound like a lot, especially compared to the cheap Chinese knock-offs that are all over the web, but this is hand-made and high-quality. You get what you pay for :) Hey Johnny,

I may be interested in purchasing one. How much are you asking for one? Is it done in the Japanese method, or is it your interpretation of one? Either way it looks like a nice sword and it appears that you really worked hard at it. Johnny Hello,
