Bushido Tonbo Katana

Bushido Tonbo Katana

Every part of this sword is expertly crafted by highly skilled smiths using centuries-old methods. The blade is pattern welded, with most of the blade Rockwelling in the 40-45 HRC range and about 35 HRC at the guard. The simulated hamon is expertly applied by an artisan. Each blade is honed and must be able to cleanly cut through a sheet of paper before it leaves the factory. The tsuba and pommel are emblazoned with Dragonflies. To the Samurai, the Dragonfly was a symbol of fearlessness, swiftness and courage; they were believed to bring soldiers strength and protection. Japan is also known as the Island of the Dragonfly or Akitsushima (akitsu is the Japanese word for dragonfly and shima means island). The tsuba, pommel and the fuchigashira (sword-hilt collar next to the tsuba and the pommel) are made of brass and given an aged finish. The grip is genuine Rayskin wrapped with cord.
