Generally, the Japanese katana has been considered as the ultimate battle weapon for thousands of years. Today, it is a favorite piece among martial arts enthusiasts and collectors so it is a must to have this in ones collection. Just like this samurai katana sword, it is something worth purchasing to include to your growing set of functional blades. It can be used for practice cutting and training, and it is also a durable piece to enjoy.
The Samurai Katana
This is a sword crafted with a blade made of T10 clay tempered steel which is known for its toughness and strength. This type of steel is superior to carbon steel when it comes to durability and hardness. It is also a clay tempered piece so this katana has a soft spine for resilience and a hard edge to keep its sharpness. This can be achieved via clay coating tempering, a classic method used in history. Also, since this sword is clay tempered, it has gone through the process of hadori polishing to further improve the beauty of its hamon.
Sword Dimensions
The blade of this katana measures 72 centimeters long and 3.2 centimeters wide. Its tsuka is 27 centimeters long and its overall weight is 1.68 kilograms. The katana is made lighter with the help of the bohi or blood groove. It goes along the sides of the blade to make it lighter and easier to wield. This sword features two bohis on either side of the blade and these will press the workpiece in the center.
Sharp and Solid Blade
This is a fully sharpened piece so you can use the katana immediately for cutting practice. It is also a full tang, so its tang reaches to almost the entire length of the tsuka. This makes the blade and the grip a single, solid chunk of metal. Since it is a full tang, expect the sword to have a certain level of rigidity to it.
Fittings and Accessories
This sword consists of various fittings and these include the fuchi, tsuba, kashira, and menuki. All of these are made of metal except for the tsuba which is made from HQ copper. The fuchi is the ferrule covering the opening of the tsuka. The kashira helps prevent the sword from slipping while the tsuba works to guard or protect your hand from your opponents blade. As for the menuki, these are the ornaments decorating the tsuka-ito of the sword.
The katana comes with a full authentic green ray skin saya with buffalo horn. The saya protects this katanas blade when it is stored. It prevents the blade from acquiring unwanted damages or breakages due to environmental elements. Its tsuka is protected by a blue samegawa that is complemented by a brown leather ito. Additionally, a silk sword bag is included for carrying the sword.
