From the Musha Kotoku Series comes this intricately hand forged “Crane” Katana. The Full tang 1045 high carbon steel makes this a resilient katana that is sharp right out of the box. The detailed tsuba depicts a silhouette of a crane spreading it’s wings with matching orchid themed Kashira and Fuchi.
A unique feature is the integrated Bo-Hi on the blade. Bo-Hi is commonly known as blood grooves, but that is a common misconception. The purpose of the Bo-Hi is to helps reduce the weight of the katana, it actually has nothing to do with channeling the blood. Making the Katana lighter enables the user to weld the katana smoother and puts less stress on the hands. Not to mention it benefits some advance cutting techniques that requires the katana to change direction rapidly.
All Musha swords are able to be fully disassembled. Maru Gata style Tusba, Fuchi, Kashira all can be swapped out for a different set. Real wood handle is wrapped with traditional cotton.
Design to be a fully functional katana, the Crane with its quality build will astonish you with it’s value.
