Bushido Katana

£833.33

Bushido, or “Way of the Warrior”, defines the code of conduct an honourable Samurai must follow and the Hanwei Bushido katana is designed to perpetuate this tradition.

The blade of the Bushido katana is hand-forged and folded from K120C powder steel, with a medium-length (chu) kissaki. The saya is deeply lacquered with inlaid brass cherry blossom (sakura) flowers. High-quality ray skin (same) is used on the tsuka. The tsuba is crafted in blackened and bronzed iron, with detailing in gold and silver and a battle scene decoration. The tsuka-ito and the sageo are woven from premium Japanese cotton. The fuchi and kashira are of blackened bronze with brass detailing, and the kojiri, koiguchi and kurikata are of polished buffalo horn. The habaki is a one-piece brass construction.

Please note: Our range of katana, wakizashi and tantō are all made by hand and will feature the minor imperfections relating to this method of manufacture. This process ensures each piece is as unique as their historical counterparts.

Absolutely beautiful Katana! Short, nimble and robust. Everything is tight (especially the Ito!); nothing wiggles or rattles at all. Sword sits tight and without any rattle in the saya. Tsuka is a bit on the beefy side, but has a nice little taper and sits very comfortable in my hands (and I have short fingers). Colors (Saya and Ito) are generally a bit darker than in the pictures here, which looks great in my opinion. Price was abssolutely unbeatable, shipping to Germany fast and without any problems (customs etc.), and purchasing through the Knight Shop was a sheer pleasure. First time I ever saw a hand written checklist for quality control with a purchased Katana. Highly recommended! (Posted on 04/06/2024)
