Finishes & Marks
Beauty with purpose.
Surface finishes
A quality surface finish protects a sword from rust and wear, improving both its durability and appearance. Historically, these finishes helped preserve a sword’s strength, functionality, and longevity for years of use.
Polished
This is our standard finish, applied to most blades and steel parts. It provides a smooth, refined appearance without excessive shine, making it a timeless choice for most equipment.

Pommels
This is not a mirror polish. A clean, uniform finish designed for a balanced, functional appearance.
Burnt
A controlled heat treatment creates a distinctive dark blue and purple oxide layer. Every piece develops a unique appearance, making no two finishes exactly alike.

Colors may vary between products and can gradually change with use and polishing.
