Katana Bushido, Akagi - 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 red braided handle with a red ray skin cloth underneath with a golden Komainu (Guardian Lion from Japanese culture), a guard (Tsuba) depicting ancient heroes and a beautiful red lacquered wooden scabbard (Saya).

This katana has a decorated golden Kashira (end of the handle).
This katana is also decorated with golden flowers on a golden background on its Fushi (part between the guard and the handle).

This katana can be used for cutting training.

High manganese stainless steel blades are made of an alloy steel containing 12-14% manganese.
This type of steel is often considered the ultimate hardened steel: these blades are known for their resistance to rust, impact, abrasion and are sharp and flexible at the same time. Ideal for cutting training.

"Akagi" means "Red Tree" in Japanese.
