With its clay tempered edge, this Katana has, and can retain a razor sharp edge (can be selected during checkout). Its spine is softer so it can bend witout breaking when used.

The Tsuka comes with a collection of fittings made from different materials. Its Tsuba is a piece crafted from iron, while the Menuki, Kashira, and the Fuchi are all made from metal.
The handle of the Katana is covered with a black rayskin Samegawa. It is a part of the sword that is underneath the authentic black leather Ito or Tsuka Ito.
Accessories

It is also great that there is an inclusion of a silk sword bag with this Katana.
