The Japanese sword, a unique work of art in steel, can be

weapon, the sophisticated metallurgy and scientific thinking
utilized by the swordsmith, the shape of the blade itself, and the
different crystalline forms in the steel all contribute to the
beauty of these remarkable weapons. "The Art of the Japanese Sword"
conveys to the reader a basic background regarding the Japanese
sword, as well as an explanation of how to view and appreciate a
blade. It also illustrates the details of how a sword is made and
finished today.
Modern craftsmen use completely traditional methods from the past
to prepare their steel, forge the sword and create the unique
hardened edge. By gaining a good understanding of how a sword is
actually made, the reader will be able to appreciate the Japanese
sword more fully.
