Musashi Muromachi Two Steel Hand Forged Sword 44"

The word Samurai means "the one who serves". The samurai led very disciplined lives. They strived always to achieve perfection of the martial arts and their character. Samurai were expected to be capable of bringing the same degree of discipline to the social community as they would to the removal of an enemy's head in battle. This warrior's choice of weapon was the Katana. The katana is a devastatingly quick and powerful weapon. The Samurai viewed the Katana as almost a living thing which they greatly revered. These powerful yet graceful Katanas are made with the old ways in the mountains of China. These are full tanged, battle ready, and razor sharp.

This beautiful Samurai Katana is made of traditionally hand forged high carbon steel, done with the tsukurikomi process. The tsukurikomi process combines four kinds of steels; hagane (edge), shingane (core), mungane (back) and kawagane (side) steels, with different carbon contents. By this process, the hasaki (edge) side becomes high carbon steel and the mune (back) side possesses low carbon steel. This process is what makes this sword such a formidable weapon.

This Mushasi Muromachi Katana comes with a hard scabbard and silk bag. It features a real Ray skin wrapped grip. The tsuba is 3.5” in diameter and is what is called the Muromachi design. It comes with a certificate of authenticity and has the serial number stamped on the tang.

Musashi Katana Series:
Musashi was one of the best samurai warriors of the Edo/Tokugawa period. He was thought to be a legend, due to his unusual fighting style. He fought using the Ni-ten Ichi Ryu way, which was a two-sword swordsmanship that he developed himself. He fought with a katana and a wakizashi at the same time! He said he trained using two long-swords in order to develop his strength. With his great strategy and skill Musashi killed many of his enemies in one-to-one duels. His first duel was at the age of 13! We strongly recommend this sword and we also recommend buying a wakizashi in order to reach Musashi's incredible style!
