This Katana sword is designed to give a traditional look and feel of the antique swords. Not only that, it also has functional blades for the battle ready sword. Measuring 41”, the 28” blade was crafted from 1065 high carbon steel and designed with a heavy blood groove in the keen edged blade. The handle is covered in ray skin and wrapped with black nylon cord. The menuki and tsuba (sword hilt) accent the overall look. (Pictured in the square below)
As you can see in the picture, the scabbard is hardwood and beautifully detailed with a rich and colorful design. When purchased, this Shinwa Katana Sword comes with a wooden display box, custom bag and a cleaning kit. With all of this included it makes a great gift.
