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.
Although, a Samurai can fight with only the Katana the complete warrior fights with both the Katana and Wakizashi. This is the Mushashi Daisho Set, made with the same quality of excellence that the hand forged Mushashi have become renown for. The swords are forged in the old tradition of the legendary Samurai smiths with a six step forging process and polishing. The swords are composed of all authentic materials and are practical for most practice and cutting uses.
The Set includes: Katana, Wakizashi, Wooden Two Tier Table Stand, Cleaning Kit, Decorative Wooden Box, Two Cloth Sword Bags, and Certificate of Authenticity.
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! |
