Musashi Shogun Crest Katana

From the Musashi Silver Collection Shirakawa Series comes this intricately hand crafted Shogun Crest Katana. Using the Maru-kitae hand forged technique with 1060 high carbon steel, the result is a beautiful and resilient blade with a unique hamon pattern. The Shogun Crest Katana is razor sharp and ready to cut.

The detailed Maru Gata style iron tsuba depicts the crest of the shogun. The wood handle is real ray skin wrapped in traditional black cotton cord, while the high gloss black saya makes the Shogun katana 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, and 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
