Sword 1060 Carbon Steel Japanese Sea Bird Blade

This Japanese Katana sword, an affordable take on the favored and cherished blade of the legendary samurai, boasts a brown color and adheres to the Japanese sea wave theme. This is accentuated by sea birds, symbols of enduring luck and fortune. The sword is crafted from 1060 high carbon steel, undergoing a 12-step hand polishing and quenching to achieve a mirror-like shine and optimal hardness level.

The blade, full tang and double-pegged, offers increased stability and features bohi (grooves) for tachikaze (the sound of a perfect swing). Its handle, a wooden rayskin wrapped core, is strapped with a tight silk tsuka-maki cord, providing a robust grip. The wooden scabbard, lustrous in its polished gloss, adds aesthetic appeal. Complete with fittings of brass and copper, the sword is enriched by the Japanese sea wave theme and can be fully disassembled/assembled. The sharpness level is customizable, rendering this Katana perfect for any collection. It is fitting as part of a cosplay outfit or for usage in the arts of Iaido or samurai tameshigiri.
