Notice how the blade bears a resemblance to the katana? During the Tang Dynasty, many Chinese and Korean smiths emigrated to Japan where their metallurgical skills were in demand. From these Tang smiths the Japanese would adopt the swordmaking techniques of folded steel and the use of clay for differential hardening. Even as late as the 12th century, many Japanese smiths were claiming fabled Chinese smith Ganjiang as the original patron of their skills. After the Japanese mastered the skills of sword-making to new heights, Japanese blades became collectors items by the Chinese Song Dynasty nobles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.7999992370605px;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.7999992370605px;\"\u003eEach Tang Dao is forged by our master smith in Longquan, a region that was central to sword production in the Song Dynasty.
