Battle-Ready Gilded Shadow Katana (Sharp)
Discover the Battle-Ready Gilded Shadow Katana (Sharp), a distinguished addition to our Samurai Special series, crafted at the Musashi forge. Although not branded as Musashi, these katanas follow the revered Bushido Musashi quality standards but at a more economical price point. For less than $40, this sword is perfect for enthusiasts looking to engage in light entry cutting, training, or expanding a functional sword collection. It also serves well as a gift, presentation piece, or a reliable "back yard beater" for cutting and display.
This katana boasts a 26-inch thick, handmade high carbon steel blade, meticulously hand-honed to razor-sharpness. As a full tang, battle-ready sword, it promises durability and balance, extending fully to the end of the 10 3/4-inch handle. Its dual bamboo peg construction allows for easy disassembly, ideal for maintenance or more detailed display setups.
The unique guard (tsuba) and all fittings are designed with precision, featuring tight, black finished metal that complements the black matte scabbard (saya), which is adorned with a metal mouth and an engraved design. The handle, wrapped in black cotton cord over faux ray skin, ensures a secure grip and aesthetic integrity.
Included with this katana is a black cotton sword carry and storage bag, enhancing its value as a portable and protective accessory. With an overall length of 38 1/2 inches, the Battle-Ready Gilded Shadow Katana (Sharp) combines traditional craftsmanship with modern affordability, making it a must-have for both new collectors and seasoned samurai enthusiasts alike.
