The ray skin used on the tsuka is of the highest quality, and the tsuka-ito on the Wakizashi and the sageo is woven from best quality Japanese silk.

The blade is engraved, at the Habaki, with a hand-engraved "Fudo" horomono, a traditional blade carving from the Edo period. The blade of the kami Wakizashi is grooved on both sides, and each piece features a long Kissaki. Produced by Hanwei under direction of Paul Chen.
