FAQ
It is forged by swordsmiths in China using Japanese techniques. Japanese forged katanas are very hard to export out of Japan as the Japanese government regulates them heavily.
Is the sword true Damascus?The technique to manufacture "real" Damascus steel has been lost for over 100 years. The Musha shirasaya is a hand forge katana using carbon steel to achieve the Damascus pattern.
Has it been strike tested? If yes, how many strikes can the blade withstand? If no, why not?It has not been strike tested because a variety of factors go into play. What materials are you striking at? What skill level are you at? It's different if you are cutting tree branches vs cutting metal. Too many unknown variables for us to state how many strikes can the blade stand.
Is it sharpened?Yes, it is hand-forged to full tang and sharpens. It is ready to cut right out of the box.
