Product Description
Meticulously hand forged using the time-honored kobuse tempering method, this Musashi katana sword is a masterpiece to behold and a fully functional work of art. The 1060 high carbon steel blade is hand forged, sharpened and honed to a razor sharp edge for supreme cutting power. The wooden handle is encased in genuine ray skin and wrapped in decorative cords. Authentic accents include a solid brass habaki, tsuba, menuki and pommel. A hand-painted black scabbard houses the 29 1/2" blade in style. Each piece is individually serialized and includes a certificate of authenticity, a wood storage box, a colorful satin sword bag and a sword cleaning and maintenance kit.

This sword is definitely a good buy. the quality of the blade by itself is worth it, if all that was sold was the blade i still would have purchased it. but since it came with all the koshirae stuff i might as well review that.<br /><br />the number one thing that's going to annoy you is the tsuka. when the specs say that the tsuka is same wrapped, it doesn't mean 'wrapped' they mean something closer along the lines of 'paneled' because the only places that the same is located on the tsuka is the visible portion. this causes the ito to slide around and it's quite a hassle if you are going to do any tsuburi or tameshigiri with it. <br /><br />another thing about the quality of the tsuka is that the kashira came off because the tsuka ito wasn't tied correctly to it so i had to redo it.<br /><br />the fact that there's a cleaning kit that came with the sword is phenomenal. the wood box that came with the package is also very nice. the tusba and kashira and all the fittings are very aesthetically pleasing.<br /><br />as i said before, i would have just bought the blade for this price. the fact that all this extra stuff came with it is just icing on the cake. the fact that the tsuka ito slides around after every swing is going to annoy the hell out of you though. it's still a 5/5 in my book though
