Item Specs

The Shirasaya is a sword with a very long history in Japanese sword making. The Shirasaya first came into use when the sword smiths needed a place to store their sword blades. The smiths used a wooden sheath to store the sword blades until they could be fitted. Later the shirasaya was used by the Samurai to conceal their swords when sword carrying was banned in Japan. With the arrival of the 21st century the Shirasaya has started to make a come back as a stylized sword.

Black Shirasaya	September 22, 2011
Reviewer: Richard from Albuquerque, NM United States

This shirasaya is a little sloppy with the fittings and details inside the blade. Seems like some kind of goop got on the habaki and on the blade near the habaki, and I can't get it off. Other than that, it seems to be a fine blade.

Excellent Product!	March 4, 2011
Reviewer: Rick Starks from Haigler, NE United States

The Handmade Japanese Shirasaya Samurai Katana Sword is a sleek classic design, simple, yet elegant. I found the blade to be extremely sharp, so it is also functional. Balanced well, can cut through tatamis easily.
