One Handed Japanese Sword

Forged with folded steel, which is a mixture of 1045 soft steel, 1060 high carbon steel, manganese spring steel and many more smaller portions of other steels. This mixture is then folded multiple times to remove impurities, creating many hundreds of individual steel layers, finally producing arguably the best sword-making steel available, a technique renowned for smithing Japanese sword blades.

The lacquered hardwood scabbard and quality sword fittings, complement the sword nicely. And the hardwood, wrapped with synthetic leather & quality polyester cord form a traditional sword aesthetic and very effective Japanese Samurai handle grip. 

This Shoto sword is a modern and illustrative work of training sword art. It’s collectable, a pleasure to own and a top-of-the-line Japanese practice sword.
