Musashi Samurai Sword - Ko-Tosho - SS673-5S

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 Musashi Ko-Tosho 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 Ko-Tosho design. It comes with a certificate of authenticity and has the serial number stamped on the tang.
