This spectacular hand forged blade of the katana has been constructed from thoroughly hardened 1065 high carbon steel. The handle is made from sturdy wood with a faux ray skin, double mekugi, and a purple ito wrapped in a traditional Japanese style. The sword itself is worn in a vibrant purple crackle-painted finish scabbard or saya. This sword is just as functional as it is beautiful and would make an excellent addition to your collection. Additionally, this katana includes a free wooden single sword display stand, providing an elegant way to showcase your possession.
