Tamahagane steel Tamahagane, which in Japanese literally means jewel steel or precious steel, is a type of steel made in the Japanese traditional way. Tamahagane is made by smelting iron sand in a clay furnace called tatara and mixing it with charcoal to produce steel with various carbon content. This very laborious process takes as much as 57 days. After the smelting process, the tatara is broken and the steel bloom or kera is broken and swordsmiths segregate and collect the steels with various carbon contents.

Making a blade from tamahagane requires high level of expertise from the swordsmith. Swordsmiths will laminate the different types of steel collected from the kera to create a sword which has a hard edge, soft core and springy sides. The item is a katana with a blade made of Chinese tamahagane. The blade of this sword is hazuya-jizuya polished to bring out the beauty of the blade.
