Musashi Yasha-Hand Forged Samurai Sword-SS674-1

This beautiful Samurai Katana was hand crafted by the famous Longquan sword master Chris Zhou. It features over 8000 folds to give it its strength and flexibility. Layers of clay are placed in various thicknesses to control its heating and cooling when forged, and this is what gives it its balance between hard and flexible. This Samurai Katana features a real Ray skin handle. The Ha and Mun (hardness) comes to 57 and 40 respectively on the Rockwell hardness scale. The Ha is very hard, and it is what gives the Samurai Katana it’s very, very sharp blade. The hardness is comparable to that of a kingpin in a trailer hitch. The Mun is what allows the blade to be flexible. It is comparable to the hardness of an axe. This allows the sword not to chip when exposed to edge to edge sword fighting. It is also what allows the blade to bend at up to a 30 degree angle. This beautiful Samurai Katana comes with a beautiful silk wrapped wood display box, and silk/cotton sword bag. This Samurai Katana also comes with a signed certificate of authenticity as well as being individually numbered. This sword has been hand honed by expert blacksmiths to a razor sharp edge capable of cutting through meat and bone, as well as bamboo trees, and even able to puncture car doors. If you are a Samurai, Martial arts enthusiast, or a collector, this sword would be a crowning jewel in your hands.
