Musashi Tonbo Dragonfly Katana
Product Description
From the Musashi Silver Collection comes this intricately hand crafted “Tonbo” Dragonfly Katana. Hand-forged from 1060 high carbon steel using the Maru-kitae technique, this razor-sharp blade is beautiful, resilient, and finished with a unique hamon pattern. The detailed Maru Gata style copper tsuba depicts aa tonbo (or dragongly) spreading its wings and flying towards the blossoming flower from the opposite side of the tsuba. The copper kashira and fuchi shows the tonbo and the flower in greater detail to complete the theme. The wood handle is real ray skin wrapped in traditional black cotton cord alongside the two tone tsuba.
A unique feature is the integrated Bo-Hi on the blade. Bo-Hi is commonly known as a "blood groove," but that is a misconception. The purpose of the Bo-Hi is to help reduce the weight of the blade so it is easier to wield and puts less stress on the hands. It also helps with some advance cutting techniques that require the katana to change direction rapidly.
Each sword is individually numbered on the tang with matching Certificate of Authenticity.
