Musashi Silver Shirakawa Collection Hand Forged Sengoku Samurai Katana SwordFEATURES:
From the Musashi Silver Collection Shirakawa Series comes this intricately hand crafted Sengoku Katana. Using Maru-kitae hand forged technique with 1060 high carbon steel the result is a beautiful and resilient blade with a unique hamon pattern. The Sengoku Katana is razor sharp and ready to cut.
The detailed Maru Gata style copper tsuba depicts the sengoku period, a period where the shogun ruled over. The copper kashira and fuchi also caps off with ocean wave theme. The wood handle is real ray skin wrapped in traditional black cotton cord alongside the two tone tsuba, this Sengoku katana is a great piece to your traditional katana collection.
A unique feature is the integrated Bo-Hi on the blade. Bo-Hi is commonly known as blood grooves, but that is a common misconception. The purpose of the Bo-Hi is to help reduce the weight of the katana, it actually has nothing to do with channeling the blood. Making the Katana lighter enables the user to wield the katana better and puts less stress on the hands. Not to mention it benefits some advance cutting techniques that requires the katana to change direction rapidly.
Included with this katana is a sword bag. Each sword is individually numbered on the tang with matching Certificate of Authenticity
