They listened, and added a few high end items to it to really catch your attention. Notice the attention to detail and the fit and finish...excellent! Getting a Katana? - This is the one to get!

Presidents Pick Award

This katana has been selected by our president as being one of the best overall Samurai katana we have to offer you in our Functional Steel / Battle-Ready Sword category. The design, quality and value are excellent.

As well, this katana has been endorsed by Kyoshi Mark E. Randolph, founder of the International Katsujinken Kenjutsu Kendo Federation (I.K.K.K.F.). Unlike most others, this is truly an outstanding sword!

Made of high-carbon steel and quality craftsmanship, this Samurai katana is of SCA-LARP quality (10/60 carbon steel, very sharp, very real).
Blade Length: 28 inches | Blade Thickness: 1/4 inch | Handle Length: 11 inches (longer than others and designed for cutting) | Overall Length: 40 inches

First the Handle ... Habaki: Steel, with a burnished copper finish ... O-seppa: Brass ... Seppa: Copper Tsuba: Steel, with a Black Finish ... Fuchi: Water Buffalo Horn... Kashira (Band at the bottom of the handle above the Tsuba): Blackend Steel ... Ito (Wrapping): Brown Suede ... REAL Same (new improvement!), Black ... Peg: 2 Bamboo Pins ... Menuki: Copper with floral design.

Update: The tang has been significantly increased in size due to customer demand. This creates a lighter feeling, faster sword.

Second the Blade ... Tempered high carbon blade with a real Hammon line (not acid dipped like others). The blade is 10/60 carbon steel and comes with a full bohi and nice slanted tip. The RC Factor on the Edge is 60 and along the back the RC Factor is 40 (outstanding!). You can also see the curvature of the blade is great for competition cutters. This will be a very strong sword.

Sword Cleaning Instructions Regular use of sword cleaning kits to maintain high carbon steel swords helps prevent deterioration. (Initial cleaning of this sword is needed to remove protective coating.)

Manufacturers Note: Blades made of 3/16-inch tempered steel are designed to be slightly more ridged than thin spring steel blades (whippy blades) from other manufacturers. This is not a defect, but by design to allow for a difference in blade control during swordplay, etc. (All testing is a buyer liability.)
