The Sokojikara Bambusa Katana is inspired by the strength and versatility of bamboo, offering a masterfully crafted sword that balances form and function. The full-tang, 28” T10 high carbon steel blade is hand-forged by seasoned swordsmiths using the ancient clay tempering process, giving the katana a tough, impact-absorbing spine and a razor-sharp edge. This meticulous technique also produces a natural hamon line, symbolizing the katana’s superior craftsmanship and durability. Every element of the Bambusa Katana, from the iron tsuba adorned with bamboo stalks to the genuine ray skin and braided ito handle, exudes a connection to traditional Japanese artistry.
The natural wooden saya, embellished with a traditional sageo, enhances the earthy elegance of this katana, while the overall length of 41" makes it both powerful and maneuverable in battle. The Bambusa Katana is not just a weapon; it’s a handcrafted masterpiece, combining time-tested swordsmithing techniques with the sleek, natural beauty of bamboo. Designed with the serious swordsman in mind, this katana offers a sublime sword-wielding experience, making it a prized heirloom to be passed down through generations.

Love my Sokojikara Bambusa handmade katana
"Being that this is my very first katana samurai sword (or any other kind of sword at that) I was quite amazed at the detail and quality of the sword. It was also extremely sharp. Though I felt like it was a little high priced at the time I had purchased it ($317. 00) now after seeing what I had received I definitely feel like it was money well spent. . also the shipping time was extremely quick."

"PostPosted: Fri 13 May, 2016 6:52 pm Post subject: Sokojikara Katana Review Report this message Reply with quote Edit this post There are two katanas in the Sokojikara line. Both are $299. Normally I wouldn't go for a katana in this price range, but I liked that it's T10 steel as opposed to the 1040-1065 carbon steel that you normally see swords made out of in this range. I also liked the longer handle than the 10" you normally see on swords. I purchased this one. The specs on the sword I received are: Blade length: 28 5/8" Blade width at habaki: 1 5/16" Spine width at habaki: 5/16" Spine width at tip: 1/4" Handle length: 11 5/8" Handle width: 1 1/2" Overall length: 40 3/8" The handle is wrapped in real ray skin. The tsuba, fuchi and koshira are all cast steel. The menuki and shoto-dome are brass. The blade has a real and beautiful hamon, but it is not as polished and pronounced as on other swords.I have not removed the tsuka to look at the tang, but the sword is double pegged, and judging by how far down the second mekugi is, I'd say it's substantial. The habaki fits VERY tight in the days. The koiguchi is of water buffalo horn, and the kurigata is of the same wood the saya is made from. I'm not sure what the wood is, I would guess maple...? The sageo is a polyester material and of a proper length to secure the sword in your obi for iaido practice. The sword is a bit blade heavy, but I like the heft for cutting. I cut some bamboo with it, and it did pretty well (though, the bamboo was still very green... I hope to practice on some more dried pieces, and tatami mats in the near future.) I purchased this sword for the purpose of using it in martial arts and am quite pleased with it. If someone is looking for a sword to practice iaido or tameshigiri, I would recommend this over other swords in its price range."
