Shikomizue Sword

The process and technique is renowned for smithing the finest combat sword blades, and certainly forms a very lethal foundational core to this Japanese Chokuto Katana. 

The matching hardwood scabbard & handle material close firmly together, forming a staff sword stick. The hardwood handle acts as a simple, sturdy and maintenance free handle grip, which is not only practical to use, but also presents in a clean, traditional form.

This Shikomizue sword is deadly, and is executed with a minimalistic and classic aesthetic. It’s highly collectable, a pleasure to own and a formidable war sword to use.
