Miyamoto Musashi, arguably the most famous swordmaster in Japanese history. Mounted in black, the Musashi Katana is faithful to the original down to the famous double-ring iron tsubas. The tsuka-ito is in leather over ray skin. The blade is hand-forged in high-carbon steel, with new geometry to enhance cutting ability. The XL Light blades feature the same geometry as those of the XL but incorporate deeply cut grooves (bo-hi) to reduce the weight of the blade while retaining most of it’s strength and cutting ability. This weight reduction makes for a quicker sword, well adapted for multiple cuts in lighter targets. Edge hardness is HRC60, back hardness HRC40. The grip is double-pegged to the full tang for safety. Supplied with a protective cloth bag and traditional maintenance kit.
