Shikomizue Katana With Holder

The most valuable part of any sword however is its blade, with this spring steel sword blade certainly forming a very high quality core of this battle ready Katana.

High manganese steel, or spring steel, encapsulates both a high percentage of carbon & manganese, which both promote a hard, reliable cutting edge, along with the most desirable blade elasticity & resilience out of any other sword making steel. This means the blade is fully battle effective, sharp and importantly, you can be sure the blade and the edge will survive even the most violent combat. 

The beautiful matching white-wood scabbard & handle material close seamlessly together, forming a sword stick. The wooden handle acts as a simple, sturdy and maintenance free handle grip, which is not only effective for combat, but also presents in a clean, traditional form. 

This stick sword is a simple, unique and collectable piece of modern art. It’s a pleasure to own and a formidable close quarters Shikomizue sword.
