What is the difference between “Musha” and “Musashi” swords?

The primary difference between Musha and Musashi swords lies in the materials and craftsmanship:

  • Musha Swords: These are more entry-level or budget-friendly swords, typically made with less expensive materials. They are perfect for beginners or those looking for a functional yet affordable sword.
  • Musashi Swords: These are higher-end swords, crafted with superior materials and greater attention to detail. They are often favored by collectors or martial artists seeking top-tier performance and aesthetic value.

Both Musha and Musashi swords are functional, but Musashi swords offer a premium experience with higher craftsmanship.
