This is a hand-made razor-sharp entry-level practical shirasaya style katana sword. The Shirasaya first came into use when the sword smiths needed a place to temporarily store their sword blades. Newly forged katana swords were often stored in wooden sheaths to store until they could be fitted.

This handmade Shirasaya is a great addition to any sword collection. Its blade is made from high-quality carbon steel with a decorative hamon and bo-hi that delivers audible feedback while swinging. Both its handle and scabbard are wood construction with a dark stained finish, appearing as one solid piece when sheathed. The blade is secured to the handle with a single bamboo mekugi.
