From the Musha Collection comes this intricately hand forged "Bamboo” Katana. The Full tang 1045 high carbon steel makes this a resilient katana that is razor sharp right out of the box.
The detailed Maru Gata style tsuba depicts bamboo growing around the tsuba. The wooden saya has a matching green themed engraving of a bamboo tree.
A unique feature is the integrated Bo-Hi on the blade. Bo-Hi is commonly known as blood grooves, but that is a common misconception. The purpose of the Bo-Hi is to help reduce the weight of the katana, it actually has nothing to do with channeling the blood. Making the Katana lighter enables the user to wield the katana better and puts less stress on the hands. Not to mention it benefits some advance cutting techniques that requires the katana to change direction rapidly.
All Musha swords can be fully disassembled and reassembled. Maru Gata style Tsuba, Fuchi, and Kashira all can be swapped out for a different set. Real wood handle is wrapped with traditional cotton.
Designed to be a fully functional katana, the Sakura with its quality build will astonish you with its value.
