While the early legacy of swordsmithing in Japan was being written, China had already developed their own methods of forging swords. Most real sharpened swords made in Japan, called Shinken, cost over $10,000 and can go into the hundreds of thousands for swords produced by the most skilled swordsmiths Because of the severe restrictions on production regarding the amount of swords that can be made each month and the long apprenticeship required to become a swordsmith, samurai swords are a rare and valuable commodity in Japan. They still require all swords to be forged and crafted in the traditional way, with tamahagane. The production of swords are governed with strict laws and requirements. The Japanese sword is now a national treasure in Japan. Who knows what kind of swords the old master smiths such as Masamune would have created with the materials widely used now The material was very impure and required to have the impurities hammered out of the steel and folded to create a strong blade.

In feudal Japan, a material called Tamahagane was used, which consisted of iron sands and charcoal smelted in a clay furnace. It is now only done for tradition's sake, and the aesthetic of the fine grain pattern (Jihada) it creates. Today, modern steel is pure and no longer requires folding. The steel was also hammered flat and folded on to itself 12-15 times, which evened out the carbon content and removed impurities This creates the beautiful temper line on the blade, the curvature of the edge, and the differential hardening of the steel. The Katana is the only weapon in history known for being clay tempered. The samurai depended on his sword with his life, and demanded the highest amount of care and quality to go into the forging and polishing of it. The Katana sword requires both a very hard cutting edge which can be sharpened to cut through bone, and a soft flexible spine to absorb the shock of powerful blows.
