Description
"In battle if you make your oppenent flich, you have already won the battle." -Book of Five Rings
This is the economical Katana. Still hand made with a durable blade, full tang construction, hardened Ha, and the ability to be dissassembled. The sword can be used fuctionally...but it would be a shame to not display it as well. The sword includes a Sword Bag, Cleaning Kit, and One Tier Stand.
Blade: The blade has been handmade with high carbon steel, hammered out so that the carbon is evenly disributed throughout the blade for a consistent hardness. A bloodline has been added to the top of the blade to decrease the weight of the blade. The blade also features an o-kissake and comes with a thin edge already sharpened. This sword is full tang.
Saya: The scabbard is hard wood with a black glossy finish and bull horn Koi-Guchi (scabbard throat). The sage-o is tan cotton wrapped around a wooden kurigata.
Tsuba: The habaki is a one piece brass construction. The seppas are copper with patterened rims. The actual tsuba is a wheel cut out with jointed rays circling the Tsuka. Golden highlights are found on the rim of tsuba with patterns cut into the metal. The tsuba has been given an antique finish.
Tsuka: The Fuchi is bright steel with a Horse in relief. The Tsuka is constructed of hard wood over the tang of the blade with a tan cotton wrap and an imitation ray skin same. One bamboo mekugi secures the tang to the Tsuka. A steel menuki is found on each side of the handle. The Kashira is brightly polished steel with a Samurai on horse back.
