The Shadowless Blade: Jue Ying (《絕影》)

The Jue Ying (Vanishing Shadow) is a masterclass in contradiction: Warmth on the outside, Ferocity on the inside.

At first glance, it appears to be a harmless art piece, housed in premium Black Ebony that feels smooth, warm, and organic to the touch. But draw the blade, and the beast is revealed. It features the rare and aggressive "Osoraku Zukuri" (恐造) geometry—a massive, terrifying tip that spans more than half the blade's length. This is not just a knife; it is a "Wolf in Sheep's Clothing," designed for the collector who appreciates the hidden nature of power.

The Blade: Rare "Osoraku" Geometry
Forged from T10 High Carbon Steel, the blade features a real Clay Tempered Hamon (continuous wave pattern) created by the traditional water quenching process. The defining feature is the expanded tip section, which is hand-polished to a mirror finish to highlight the deadly elegance of the Osoraku shape. It is sharp, agile, and fiercely beautiful.

The Fittings: Premium Ebony
The scabbard and handle are carved from solid Black Ebony (黑檀), a wood prized for its density and deep, natural dark grain. Fitted with a handmade brass Habaki (blade collar), the assembly is seamless and smooth to the touch, offering a warm, organic feel.
