Katana, Slay a demon - Bamboo Replica

Replica katana, In bamboo - " Slay a demon "

The Katana is a Japanese sword used by the samurai.  
The Bokken is a Japanese wooden sword with the size and shape of 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 bamboo replica of the katana of one of the main characters of a well known manga (D.S).
Very light, it can be used as a decoration with a weapon holder, for training in initiation or for cosplay.
However, this weapon is 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, covered with a black lacquer and decorated with a red blood effect on the "cutting part" of the blade.
The Chinese inscription " Slay a demon " is present in white writing, on the top of one side of the blade.
The handle is surrounded by a white nylon rope and finished in brightly colored plastic.
The guard (Tsuba) is made of rigid plastic in the shape of a flame with a very nice finish.
The scabbard (Saya) is made of smooth white plastic decorated with grey patterns. It is sublimated by golden finishes.
