Item Specs

Musashi was the greatest swordsman ever in Japan. It has been recorded that he won no less than 60 sword duels and was never defeated. He was not only the best swordsman but also the author of the book Of Five Rings, teacher of his sword art and talented artist. Musashi was a Samurai in all aspects of the word, and the world may never see another of his caliber.

This is the economical edition of the Musashi. However, this is still a top of the line blade in this price range. The blade is hand crafted and razor sharp with a good balance. The sword is full tang and can be disassembled.

Features

Blade: The blade of the sword is hand crafted and constructed of carbon steel with an aesthetic hamon along the edge of the blade. The sword comes razor sharp and features a visible chu kissaki on the tip of the blade.
Saya: The saya of the sword is wooden with a high gloss maroon lacquer finish. Wrapped around the upper half of the saya is a black cotton sageo. The koiguchi is blackened steel.
Tsuba: The Tsuba of the sword begins with a brass blade collar (Habaki). The actual Tsuba is blackened steel in the SUkashi To Cucumbers (double ring) design, the exact same design that Musashi created. Each side of the guard is secured by a brass spacer (Seppa), this fitting is only found on hand crafted swords.
Tsuka: The sword is full tang and secured by two wooden pins in the Tsuka. It features imitation Same, brass Menuki shaped like dragons and black cotton Ito for the best in comfort and grip. The Kashira of the sword is simple blackened steel.

Great Sword for the Money!	December 25, 2009
Reviewer: Stephen Poor from Booneville, AR United States

Like all my other Musashi blades, this one is outstanding for the price. It makes an excellent display/costume sword as-is, and with a little work would make a good fighting blade too. The handles on these swords don't seem sturdy enough for much combat, but after replacing the handle, you'd have the equivalent of a $150-$200 sword.
