Musashi - 1060 Carbon Steel - Best Miyamoto Sword

Musashi - 1060 Carbon Steel - Best Miyamoto Sword Review



Musashi - 1060 Carbon Steel - Best Miyamoto Sword Feature

  • Blade:sharpened
  • Blade Length:27 "
  • Saya Material:Wood
  • Can be fully dissembled
  • Blade Material:High Carbon Steel
Handmade, the blade is thick and comes extremely sharp. Like the more expensive models this blade can even be bent 45 degrees. To keep costs low the tsuba on this model is made with a machine process instead of using a handmade tsuba (as seen on the Elite series). The tsuba and other fittings look very good and are well suited for this model. This sword is well balanced and the tight handle wrap feels great. Comes complete with a black cotton storage bag.
