Katana

Made-to-order: Build time of 12+ weeks* Our katana is offered with a more economical leather grip as a base. Our Tsuka-ito (traditional cord wrap) grip is offered over either leather or a more historically accurate ray skin interior. Our blade is made in the Shobu-Zukuri style where the cutting edge curves smoothly into the point. At 28 inches, the blade reaches the more commonly used upper historical length and our 10 inch grip leaves more than enough room for two-handed use. It is balanced for ease of either single or two handed technique. • Aircraft-grade aluminum or high carbon steel blade ** • Safely rounded tips and edges • Carbon steel guard and pommel • ABS grip core covered in Leather or Rayskin • Optional traditional cord wrap (Tsuka-ito) • Threaded tang & pommel for easy maintenance • 28" blade - 39" total length • Weight: AL - 1.44 lbs (23 oz) / Steel - 2.16 lbs (34.6 oz) * See our Shipping Policy for more info ** See our Terminology page for more info Grip Colors Cowhide Leather: Cut from a 3oz 100% genuine high quality whole cowhide.
