After any use or handling, the blade must be meticulously wiped with a soft, lint-free cloth or traditional rice paper to remove skin oils and environmental moisture. T10 high-carbon alloys require consistent vigilance against oxidation; we strictly recommend applying a light application of protective Choji oil or high-grade mineral oil every few weeks to maintain the mirror-polished finish. Store the sword in a dry, stable environment, safely within its high-quality wooden Saya, to ensure the spirit of the forge remains untarnished for generations.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Valorium Forge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47906157756675,"sku":"404416536613","price":2090.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0809\/0563\/4051\/files\/s-l1600_5a8754c3-d321-47a5-a275-a07b89afbc3a.webp?v=1775762312","url":"https:\/\/valoriumforge.com\/products\/the-dragon-s-breath-clay-tempered-t10-katana-with-brass-dragon-tsuba","provider":"Valorium Forge","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
