Description

Item Specs

In the Koto Period the Samurai were the front line of attack. From horse back they used their swords to cut the enemy to pieces. Since the Samurai were mounted their early swords were roughly five feet long with a four foot cutting edge. The straight edge sword, made for stabbing motions, was replaced with the more effective curved blade. This was really the birth of Katana. Eventually the sword became the primary weapon of the Samurai.

Features

Blade: The blade of the sword has been hand made with High Carbon Steel. The Carbon has been hammered out through the blade so that it has a universal hardness throughout the entire blade. A Bo-Hi has been added to the top of the blade to even out the weight and give audible feedback. The sword comes full tang with an Chu-Kissake.
Saya: The scabbard of the sword is wooden with a high gloss black finish. The black cotton sage-o is tied around a copper Kurigata. The Koi-guchi is black bull horn.
Tsuba: The Tsuba is blackened copper with a mounted Bushi warrior swinging a sword. The Habaki of the sword is a one piece brass construction. Two brass Seppas secure the blade in the Tsuka.
Tsuka: The Fuchi is a scene of mountains with a mounted Bushi. The Tsuka is wooden with an imitation ray skin Same. A black cotton Ito has been wrapped over the ray skin Same. Blackened copper Menuki are on each side of the Tsuka rendered as dragons. Two bamboo Mekugi secure the tang into the Tsuka. The Kashira is a relief of waves in blackened steel.
