All of our blades are hand-forged. Final grinding and polishing is done completely by hand on a series of water stones. This insures crispness of the lines and brings out the microstructure of the steel. This is a long and meticulous process and the final polish is done by a specialized polisher. For the strict traditionalist and sophisticated collector, we offer blades made of handmade oroshigane steel, which is compositionally identical to tamahagane. These blades exhibit all of the color and characteristics of the traditional swords of Japan. We work in either the Soshu or Bizen styles. For short blades, we prefer the san-mai (three layer billet) method of construction, and hon-san-mai (four piece billet with iron core) for longer swords. Our forged steel cable blades have been developed primarily for the serious swordsman. These are forged from steel cable and have remarkable strength and aggressive cutting ability.
Michael Bell is from Oregon and in 1970 began a 5 year apprenticeship with Japanese artist Nakajima Muneyoshi. He learned all aspects of sword creation and eventually started Dragonfly Forge with his son Gabriel, where they specialize in Japanese style swords.
