Vermilion Crane Katana, 1045 Carbon Steel Hand Forged Full Tang Sword

Brand: HMS

Color: Crane

Features:

• 【Crane Katana】 A functional Japanese sword, the Crane Katana is the hero of this set, hand forged from 1045 high carbon steel as a full tang katana with a 28.3 in blade and a balanced two-handed feel for traditional form and display.
• 【1045 Steel & Hand-Sharpened Edge】 The 1045 high carbon steel blade is heat-tempered to draw out a visible wavy temper pattern along the edge, then hand-sharpened for tameshigiri, cutting tatami and bamboo with proper training; a bo-hi groove runs each side to lighten the blade and give it an audible note through the swing.
• 【Crane Tsuba & Rayskin Handle】 A pierced crane tsuba sets the theme at the guard, seated above a fitted habaki collar. The wood handle is wrapped over genuine rayskin (samegawa) and bound in black cotton ito over menuki, giving a secure, traditional two-handed grip.
• 【Full Tang & Vermilion Saya】 The full tang is held by a bamboo mekugi peg through the handle, and the sword rides in a vermilion red lacquered wood scabbard (saya) painted with a flying-bird artwork, finished with a black sageo cord. Blade 28.3 in, handle 10.6 in, overall 41 in.
• 【What's in the Box】 The katana, its matching saya (scabbard), a protective sword bag, and a packaging tube. A display stand is not included.
