Item Specs

The Kofuu is the most versatile differentially hardened traditional cutter in the sub $300 market. Our goal was to create a sword that could take on heavy targets and the trick cuts with the same level of efficiency. The trick was found in creating a blade with minimal niku while still being able to have the strength to cut multiple tatami omote mats and green bamboo. The minimal niku allows the blade to slide through targets with very little bite.

However, the light niku presents the problem of strength in the blade. The solution to this problem was using T10 carbon steel. T10 is a tool steel that is the same hardness as 1095 carbon steel, but with alloys in the steel to make it much more resilient. We became firm believers in the quality of T10 after using the Kill Bill blades for months on end and putting the blade through everything from our cutting stand to asphalt, and finding surprisingly little damage to the blades. We also found that the T10 was exceptional at retaining an edge.

The balance point of the blade sits right at 5.5 ” from the tsuba. This allows the blade to lead the cut without being too tip heavy. The blade is differentially hardened with an excellent heat treat and gunome style hamon. This is by far our most consistent cutter in the Munetoshi line.

The sword is perfect for a backyard cutter's budget while maintaining the quality required for any serious martial artist.

Features

Detailed Specs of the Katana:
Blade: The blade of the Katana has been constructed from T10 carbon steel. The hamon has been authentically created and features a Gunome design with a prominent Nie line. The Kissaki is a Chu-Kissaki (medium length) with a Midare-komi turn back. The blade also features a bohi, which serves to both lighten the blade and provide audible feedback when the sword is swung.
The blade comes full tang and very sharp.
Saya: The Saya features a glossy red metalflake lacquered finish and bull horn Koi-guchi. The Sageo is chemical fiber.
Tsuka: The Tsuba is blackened brass alloy in a cut out sukashi design of a crane above waves. The Tsuka features two smoked bamboo Mekugi. The Ito is black chemical fiber with hishigami. The Same is white ray skin with large nodes. The Fuchikashira are antiqued brass alloy with a crane theme.
Note: Specs will vary slightly from sword to sword.
