Bargain, hand-forged katana, blade length approx. 73 cm, total length without scabbard (saya) approx. 104 cm, handle approx. 31 cm, blade curve (sori) approx. 18-20 mm, weight incl. scabbard approx. 1130 g. Made of carbon steel 1060. Blade fixed with 2 meguki. Handle winding (tsuka-ito) is traditionally made of cotton.
weight: approx. 2.2 kg
The sword includes a certificate proofing the authenticity. It is sharpend and delivered in a decorative wooden, fabric covered collectors box where it may be stored in the included fabric wrapper. The handle (tsuka) is made of wood and covered in real fish skin (same). The saya is made of wood and covered with mirrorfinish lacquer.
The tsuba is made of casted iron in the traditional double ring form which is said to route back to Miyamoto Musashi. Museum originals had been the source for this masterpiece of asian swordcraft.
The hardness is approx. 50 to 52 degrees rockwell. Since the cutting edge thinner, it cools down faster then the thicker sword back so it will be harder. The softer, less hardened sword back guarantees the necessary flexibility of the blade. The blade has a brass collar (habaki) so it won't rattle in the scabbard.
