Product Review

The 27.5" hand crafted and honed blade is made of 1045 forged high carbon steel. It is full tanged with a cotton cord wrapped tsuka or handle. The wooden saya, or scabbard, has a matte black finish. The tsuba, or guard, is metal alloy - as are the fuchi (collar) and kashira (buttcap)- and stamped with a beautiful twilight scene. It has double mekugis, or pegs, and is razor sharp right out of the box. It is an exceptional sword, especially for the price.
