Katana Bushido, Yume - Sharpened

The Katana is a Japanese sword used by the samurai.

This katana is made by a traditional forge specialized in the creation of high quality Japanese weapons with an exclusive design.

This katana has a sharpened blade with Fuller, a black braided handle with underneath a black ray skin cloth on which is fixed a golden Komainu (Guardian Lion from the Japanese culture), a black and red decorated square guard (Tsuba) and a beautiful wooden scabbard (Saya) with a resistant black coating with the "Seigaiha" japanese wave pattern.

This katana can be used for cutting training.

T10 steel blades contain 1.05% carbon. Thanks to the very hard steel that makes up the blade, superior in cut and flexibility to 1065 steel, it can be used for intensive use during your training and does not dull compared to medium carbon 1045 steel. However, it is not recommended for blade on blade training. Do not forget to take care of your katana by oiling the blade to avoid rust.

"Yume" means "Dreams" in Japanese.
