Product Description

From the Musashi Silver Collection Shirakawa Series comes this intricately hand crafted Taketori no Okina (The Tale Of The Bamboo Cutter) Katana. Made 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 Taketori no Okina Katana is razor sharp and ready to cut.

The detailed Maru Gata style iron tsuba depicts overgrown bamboo with bamboo grass which signifies strength and prosperity. It also represents the tale of Kaguya Hime, a princess found in a bamboo stalk by Taketori no Okina who disappears on a full moon. With the razor sharp blade, cutting down and harvesting bamboo like Taketori no Okina would be a swift task. The wood handle is real ray skin wrapped in traditional black cotton cord while the high gloss saya makes the Taketori no Okina katana a great piece to your collection.

An additional feature is the integrated Bo-Hi on the blade. Bo-Hi are commonly known as blood grooves, but that is a misconception. The purpose of the Bo-Hi is to help reduce the weight of the katana, and actually has nothing to do with channeling blood. Making the Katana lighter enables the user to weld the katana more smoothly and puts less stress on the hands. Not to mention it benefits some advance cutting techniques that require 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.
