Clay tempering is perhaps one of the most skilled artforms in sword making. The process starts as if an artist is composing a painting. The swordsmith paints a clay mixture onto the rough, shaped blade — carefully applying different thicknesses of clay to both the spine and cutting edge. Next, the swordsmith adds personal markings onto the blade with a thin metal tool. The marks can only be seen when a sword polisher reveals them. They are the soul of the sword, and form a unique natural temper line known as hamon.

 

Tempered Steel

Through rapid heating and quenching, the spine and cutting edge cool at different rates because of the clay coating, resulting in a cutting edge that is extremely hard and a spine that is durable and flexible. These blades of tempered steel are tough enough to withstand the stress of battle, providing improved shock absorption.

Passed down through the generations by ancient swordsmiths, a clay tempered sword is a testament to precision, art, and ingenuity. Browse the wide range of clay tempered swords at Swords of Northshire today.
