Musashi Tsuru Katana

From the Musashi Gold Collection comes this intricately hand-crafted Tsuru Katana. Hand forged using 1060 & 1090 carbon steel this katana is forged using the traditional Japanese method of Kobuse-kitae. This method uses a soft steel core in a hard steel jacket to improve overall shock absorption while cutting through hard materials. The blade hardness is both. The handle is ray skin wrapped in traditional black cotton cord. It also features a brass tsuba with gold plating, fuchi and kashira. Included with this katana is a maintenance kit to make sure your katana lasts a lifetime as well as a beautifully crafted sword box.
