Product description

This katana is a replica of the type that was made around the end of the 19th century. It is said that the slightly greater curve in the blade is derived from the curve in French cavalry sabers. But this is however not clear. This type of katana was worn and used on the front by high officers or officers from traditionally wealthy Japanese families during World War 2. Katanas that were worn by the 'ordinary' soldier were mostly industrial mass productions, while katanas of senior officers could be in the family for hundreds of years.

This very detailed katana has a razor sharp blade made of 1045 carbon steel. The blade is made in the Shinogi-Zukuri style and has a hardness of approx. 60 HRC at the edge and a hardness of approx. 40 HRC at the back.
The grip is wrapped with ray skin and covered with roughly woven cotton in the Hineri-Maki style. The tsuba is made of brass and is an exact replica of originals from its time.

This katana is supplied including a wood scabbard. The scabbard is decorated with brass fittings in the style of the tsuba. This sword is 102.5 cm long, has a blade of 72 cm long and weighs 1150 grams.
