Product Description

From the Musashi Gold Masaru Series comes this intricately hand crafted Umi Katana. Hand-forged using the Kobuse-kitae technique to combine 1060 and 1045 high carbon steel, this full tang blade is beautiful, strong, and flexible.

The detailed Maru Gata style brass tsuba depicts the pattern of the “Umi,” or ocean. One side of the tsuba shows a calm ocean with birds in the sky, while the other side of the tsuba shows how dangerous oceans can be with aggressive tidal waves pounding away. Such is the way of the Samurai. In times of peace they are calm and collected, but when war erupts, they are fierce and formidable. The wood handle is real ray skin wrapped in traditional black cotton cord. It also features brass Fuchi and Kashira.

Included with this katana is a maintenance kit to make sure your katana lasts a lifetime as well as a premium sword bag, deluxe gift box, Certificate of Authenticity. Each sword is individually numbered on the tang.
