Additional:
Please note: the "bluing" process used in the production of this blade is not a chemical process and can result in some variation of the blue color. It is a thermal process that depends on many factors that can affect the blue color: variation of material in the steel, temperature, humidity, etc. We inspect every blade and saber before shipping to ensure the variation of color meets our standard.
