Product description:
Katana sword in honour of the legendary swordsman Miyamoto Musashi. Musashi is considered one of the best fighters of all time.
The Musashi Katana from Toshiro Swords has a solid Shinogi Zukuri blade made from folded steel. The blade also has Niku, which makes it very stable and also suitable for very hard cutting targets.
The blade is sharpened and has a hardness of 60 HRC on the cutting edge. The blade is anchored in the handle with 2 Mekugi wooden pins for a good grip. The sword is designed for cutting exercises with tatami mats and bamboo.
The handle is made of solid wood and the black synthetic fibre grip tape is wrapped in Katate Maki. A special technique also known as war wrapping.
The sword is kept simple, in black with a simple double-ring tsuba. However, the massive blade with niku makes it a solid breaker. Just the way Musashi would have liked it.

- Total length with saya: approx. 104 cm
- Total length of sword: approx. 101 cm
- Handle length: approx. 27.5 cm
- Weight with saya: approx. 1500 grams

Even the cheapest swords here are a feast for the eyes.
When I decided to add a higher price range to my collection, I ordered this particular piece.
The Musashi blade and the special winding alone look mega. But I wouldn't have thought that a blade could look so beautiful. It looks much more striking in reality than in the photos. As an old metalworker, I'm really amazed at how you can get a steel to look like this. Hats off!!!
The feel and finish are also in a league of their own.
I will treat it as a work of art, because that's what it practically is.
BUT: The blade is as sharp as a razor. And the surface is so perfectly smooth... I'm sure you could cut many a target with it - even the harder ones.
I find the solidity of the blade rather pleasant in terms of weight. You could bring a lot of energy to the target with it.
Conclusion: A real piece of jewellery. If you have the small change and are interested in beautiful, "battle-worthy" swords, you can buy one here with a clear conscience.

It was delivered quickly, but unfortunately the blade is crooked and the tip of the sword got too hot during sharpening and has discoloured, the hardening has gone, so no more 60 HRC at the tip of the sword.
The extensive accessory pack is also not included.
Unfortunately, I can only give 2 stars for such shortcomings.

We apologise if there is a defect in the sword. In such a case, we will of course replace the sword. Was the accessory pack shown in the picture not included or was the size shown in the picture too small? In such cases, it is always best to contact our customer service so that we can find a solution.

The sword is simply beautiful, as is the saya. The design of the blade makes it a little heavier than others, but I like that. It suits my stature.
The workmanship is impeccable, the katana sits cleanly and firmly in the saya, the tsukamaki is nice and firm.
The best thing, however, is the blade, straightforwardly elegant, great forging.
Anyone looking for a katana for Tameshigiri will not be disappointed here, performance is top!
Clear recommendation!
