The Hoso Kumiage Japanese Katana is specially handmade and forged in the Yamato Nihonto tradition, which is considered to be the oldest tradition in Japanese swordmaking. This forging method with premium quality, high carbon Japanese steel makes it an extremely sharp, durable and flexible blade with bo-hi (groove).
The Hoso Kumiage features a genuine same tsuka, Japanese black silk Tsuka Ito (also available in golden brown) and 95% hand made silver Koshirae. The Hoso Kumiage Japanese Katana can be completely disassembled for full maintenance. It is a fully functional Japanese katana, not a replica.
