Katanas are one of the most popular forms of swords today. It could be because of the code of honor samurais lived by and how people want to uphold such a code, or it could be because they are simply an amazingly made sword with great detail put into it. This sword features a 26 ½ inch blade of sharp carbon steel. The edge was created by half hand sharpening and half machine sharpening. The tsuba (guard) is a battle tsuba, of a rare square design made of cast metal featuring a scene of 2 samurais on horseback locked in combat. The saya (Scabbard) has been done in white with gold accenting to match the white wrap of the 11 ½ inch handle. A white sageo, the cord around the saya, adds to the look of the katana. The wrap is around imitation rayskin. 41 inches overall.
