Kodai Katana – 1060 Carbon Steel

The Kodai Katana is a true work of art, evoking the tradition and spirit of ancient samurais. Forged with precision in carbon steel 1060, this sword is ideal for those seeking authenticity and excellence in their training. The name “Kodai,” which translates to “ancient” or “classic,” reflects the heritage and mastery that this katana represents. Every detail of the Kodai Katana has been meticulously crafted to provide an unmatched experience, balancing tradition and performance for the serious and dedicated practitioner.

Description:

The blade of the Kodai Katana is meticulously hand-forged and polished with 12 distinct procedures, following ancestral techniques that ensure a superior finish. Sharp and robust, it has passed all cutting tests (Tameshigiri) with flying colors, demonstrating its effectiveness in both heavy and light cuts. With a perfect balance of cutting ability, strength, weight, and practicality, the blade is solid, extending to the handle to ensure maximum resistance to impact. Each katana is handcrafted and sharpened according to the molds of traditional katanas from feudal Japan, with parts assembled with precision to prevent any wobble during use.

Features:

  • Blade Material: Carbon steel 1060.
  • Edge Condition: Sharpened through 12 sharpening processes.
  • Tsuka (handle): Silk, hardwood, and ray skin.
  • Tsuba (guard): Darkened iron.
  • Menuki: Decorations on the handle, one on each side.
  • Saya (scabbard): Hardwood.
  • Mekugui (peg): Two bamboo, solid blade.

Technical Specifications:

  • Total Length: 103 cm / 40.6 inches.
  • Blade Length: 70 cm / 27.6 inches.
  • Handle Length: 26 cm / 10.24 inches.
  • Blade Width (near the habaki): 3.2 cm / 1.25 inches.
  • Blade Thickness: 0.7 cm / 0.28 inches.
  • Hi (groove on the blade): Long groove, one on each side.
  • Hamon: Ornamental wave.

Other Information:

  • Blade: The blade of the Kodai Katana is hand-forged and polished with 12 distinct procedures, using extremely pure carbon steel. The ancient forging technique provides exceptional durability and performance.
  • Tsuba: Located above the saya, the tsuba is ornamented and made by metal fusion. It protects the user's hand from slipping over the blade during training.
  • Habaki (blade collar): A metal piece that separates the blade from the sword and the scabbard, serving both aesthetic and functional purposes. Small scratches are normal due to use.
  • Hi: The groove on the part of the blade opposite the edge was added to provide audible feedback during use and to reduce the weight of the sword without compromising its stability and strength.
  • Menuki: Decorations on the handle, one on each side, that add a touch of elegance to the sword.

Good to have if you've never seen the iTEP exam, but don't rely on it to boost your scores
Format: Paperback
This book is good in that it comes with two practice tests: one in the beginning of the book, one in the end of the book. The grading rubric is helpful too. However, the actual guide part of the book, doesn't help too much with how to improve test scores. What I like least about this guide is that it won't tell you which questions you answered incorrectly on the practice exams. A good test prep guide will tell you what you answered incorrectly, and will tell you what logic to follow to get to the correct answer. In the reading passages, it would be nice to know where I can find evidence to justify the "correct" answer. In the grammar section, it would be nice to know which rule I'm violating. Any test guide should always come with some testing strategies. I.E. If this question is taking up too much time, skip it and go to the next one. This guide lacks simple strategies like that. Simple strategies like that could be useful when incorporated into this guide because there are certain sections on the exam that you can go back to previous questions, but some sections where the "back" button is disabled. Overall, if you've never seen an iTEP exam before, this book is certainly helpful in that it will give you an idea of what you will be testing for. However, this book alone won't help you achieve a score of 6. The table of contents itself will tell you there are only 86 pages of actual content covering test material. That's not enough to cover how to excel in the exam.

Don't buy it
Format: Paperback
It does not prepare for the real test. Using it is absolutely not enough to be approved with good grades. Too expensive for what it offers.
