Realistic Katana, Square guard, Baohu - Bamboo Replica

Replica katana, In bamboo - Traditional

The Katana is a japanese sword used by the samurais.  
The Bokken is a Japanese wooden sword with the same size and shape as the Katana. It can be used with the guard (Tsuba) which protects the hands, or without the guard.
It is used in Aikido, Kendo or Ninjutsu Ninja.

This katana is a black lacquered bamboo replica with black rope handle and golden ornaments.
Very light, it can be used as a decoration with a weapon holder or for training in initiation.
This weapon is however not designed for combat, blade against blade, or any other type of impact.

This replica is the perfect marriage between a steel katana and a wooden bokken. It combines the traditional look of a katana, with the safety of training with a dummy weapon.
Unlike its wooden counterpart, which weighs between 400 gr for the lightest and 800 gr (most often in red or white oak), this bamboo model is extremely light, weighing less than 200 gr.

The blade of this katana is made of bamboo, painted in black with silver ripples on the "cutting edge" part.
The handle, also made of wood, is decorated with a black rope wound all along the length and it is nicely decorated with small golden details.
The guard (Tsuba) is made of rigid plastic which gives a very good quality metal effect.
The scabbard (Saya) is made of smooth black plastic. It is sublimated by very well finished golden decorations.
