| Only traditional materials are used for this Japanese sword’s fittings. The Tsuba (guard), Fuchi (collar), and Kashira (pommel), are expertly made and finely crafted from black iron. The Habaki (blade collar) is hand made out of polished brass, and the hilt is covered in Samé (ray skin) and tightly wrapped in the traditional style with black cord. A beautiful brass Menuki (a small, ornamental sculpture inserted between the ray skin and the cord wrappings on the handle) enhances the sword’s aesthetic appearance and makes for a sword that is very traditional looking. Features a fully sharpened 1050 carbon steel blade with a blood groove that is heat treated to a spring temper. The blade surface has been hand polished with a distinctive mirror polish. Includes a black lacquered scabbard. Measures 27 5/8 inches overall with a 21 1/8 inch blade. |
