Overview
Musha - Black Damascus Warrior Katana
This Samurai Katana has a blade forged from blackened damascus steel and the ripple-like pattern of the folded damascus steel can be seen if the blade is closely inspected. The sharpened blade is mounted into a hilt with a blackened metal tsuba which is matched with blackened metal fuchi and kashira hilt fittings - these all feature highly detailed design of warrior samurai and mythological creatures amidst natural settings.
The grip is made of wood and is fitted with panels of genuine rayskin which is knotted over with black cord ito. The sword is paired with a carved wooden saya scabbard which is finished in glossy black lacquer and a knotted black sageo cord.
