Your custom-made katana begins its life in the famed swordsmithing town of Longquan located in the remote, green mountains of Qinxi. The art of blade making has continued, unabated, for over 2,600 years near the cold, shining waters of the Ou River. Your sword's exact crafting methods are entirely up to you, and will depend on your selections. No matter what your preferences are, you can expect the swordsmith who creates your sword to pay the utmost attention to every detail — from the blade length and material to sharpening and engraving.
