Product Introduction
The Musashi Katana is budget minimalist martial arts training samurai sword inspired by Miyamoto Musashi’s plain warrior philosophy, developed exclusively for entry-level iaido practitioners and low-key zen style interior display. The blade adopts 1060 high-carbon mono solid steel with basic water quenching heat treatment, no distinct visible hamon temper grain, classic shinogi-zukuri maru solid blade without blood groove, basic fine surface polishing and factory light sharp edge, only applicable for repetitive drawing form training, not recommended for continuous heavy thick bamboo cutting work.
The complete set of mounting hardware is unpatterned matte zinc alloy, paired with solid copper habaki and seppa washers; oval imogata tsuka is lined with artificial imitation ray skin synthetic fabric, wrapped with beige moro-hineri diamond cotton silk, soft low-friction grip for long repetitive drills. The scabbard is solid hardwood with full uniform black matte lacquer finish, matched thin dark soft cotton sage binding cord. This sword adopts fixed non-detachable full tang structure with two bamboo mekugi pins, blade and handle cannot be split apart. A lightweight simple fabric storage bag is provided as free gift accessory; personalized blade text carving upgrade service is available upon request.
