Attributes of the Weapon:
This katana is for those who want a real sword. The sword is made in the exact same method of the ancient Japanese process of making swords and is sharper than a razor. The accessories of the sword are all authentic from the ray skin handle, to silk sage-o and copper oxidized fittings. This is the best sword you will find in the price range.
Blade: The blade of the sword has been hand forged using the ancient method of sword making. Two pieces outer jacket steel wrapped around a relatively softer, inner core steel, which is resilient and able to absorb shocks, in a way, reduces the possibility of the blade breaking or bending. This creates a blade with hard, sharp cutting edge. The visible tenuous undulating grain on the blade was resulted from folded repeatedly during forging. The blade shaped Shinogi-zukuri without blood groove, featured Chu points and Ihori blade backs, which has irregular wavy Boshi, and Gunome hamon resulted from quenching and tempering. Futsu shape of full tang has Haagari tang tips.
Guard(Tsuba): This is a real fantasy one. most of the guard are rotund, but this one is square. two person weapons were carved on it..
Saya: The saya is hard wood, lacquered black with a high gloss finish. The Koiguchi (scabbard throat) is black bull horn. A black silk sage-o is tied around the wooden Kurigata.
Tsuka: The handle (Tsuka) of the sword is wooden covered in a real red shark skin wrap. The shark skin is then wrapped in a silk wrap. And two subminiature Menuki are rested on each side of the Tsuka. The tang of the sword is secured by two pegs (mekugi). The handle ends with a copper end cap (fuchi-kashira).
In addition, this katana can be taken apart fully anytime to maintenance. You can unassembled the blade from the handle by taking out two pins. It also comes with a cotton bag. We don' have responsibility for death or injury accident caused by the negligent or misuse for this sword.
