After any use or handling, the blade must be meticulously cleaned with a soft, lint-free cloth or tissue to remove skin oils and environmental debris. We strictly recommend avoiding contact with water; should the blade become damp, it must be dried immediately. Apply a thin layer of traditional Choji oil or high-grade mineral oil regularly to prevent oxidation. Store the sword in a dry, stable environment, away from direct sunlight and moisture, to ensure the spirit of the samurai remains untarnished for generations.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Valorium Forge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47905970159875,"sku":"386458301816","price":1490.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0809\/0563\/4051\/files\/s-l1600_65f65c7d-1b5e-47b8-9b10-9a4d57c6a116.webp?v=1777276419","url":"https:\/\/valoriumforge.com\/products\/the-shogun-s-legacy-clay-tempered-steel-samurai-katana","provider":"Valorium Forge","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
