The Tiger classic has a hand forged and folded blade made of ASSAB-K120C powder steel. It is differentially tempered to produce an HRC60 edge and a HRC40 back with a distinctive hamon. The Saya is deeply lacquered in black with inlaid brass bamboo leaves. The ray skin used on the tsuka is of the highest quality, and the tsuka-ito and sageo are woven from best quality Japanese cotton. The Fuchi, Kashira, Kojiri, Koiguchi and Kurigata are all made from blackened bronzed iron, selectively detailed in gold. The Tsuba is made from blackened iron, with a tiger inlaid in brass. The Habaki is of one-piece brass construction. The blade is grooved on both sides, with a short Kissaki.
