From the Musha Series comes this beautifully detailed hand forged Military "Gunto". Full tang 1045 high carbon steel that is thoroughly hardened with an aesthetic hamon makes this a resilient sword that is razor sharp right out of the box. The fittings are gold and metal grey color made of metal alloy. The real wood Tsuka is wrapped with black traditional cotton. The tsuka handle features faux black samegawa rayskin with detailed metal fuchi and kashira. The scabbard or saya also matches the theme of the tsuka and continues with detailed metal accessories.

The Gunto was a Japanese military sword that was forged for use by the Japanese army after the end of the samurai era in 1868. This style specifically is made to replicate the traditional Shin Gunto which were the most unique style during the World War II era with its beautifully designed fittings on the saya and the tsuka.

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 help reduce the weight of the katana, it actually has nothing to do with channeling the blood. Making the Katana lighter enables the user to wield the katana better and puts less stress on the hands. Not to mention it benefits some advance cutting techniques that requires the katana to change direction rapidly.

The Musha Ceremonial Tachi not only is a looker, it was design to be a fully functional sword. You will be surprised with its quality build and functionality.

Not as good quality as I was expecting.

Not as good quality as I was expecting. It looks like a cheap chines made sword, I expected much better quality. Look of gaps and open spaces in the firings and the paint on detail was very sloppy. Do not think I would buy another Musha sword. It was advertised.as a night quality sword which I found to be very much lacking.

FAQ

What is the importance of provenance in determining a sword's value?

Provenance establishes the basic facts about a sword. It provides the date it was made, who made it and who owned it. This allows you to determine authenticity and, through this, the sword’s monetary and cultural value.

How can I protect myself from buying a fake Samurai sword?

Knowing the provenance of a Samurai sword is one sure way to ensure you are not duped. Purchasing the sword from an authorized and reputable dealer further safeguards against becoming the owner of a fake Samurai sword.

Are there any legal restrictions on owning a Samurai sword?

If you purchase a Samurai sword, you must be at least 18 in the United States. However, while owning and even displaying a Samurai sword in your residence is perfectly legal, state-governed restrictions may apply to whether you can carry it in public.

What are the responsibilities of owning a historical weapon?

If you own a historical weapon, you are assuming responsibility for its care and continuance. You must take care to treat it with the respect it deserves. You must ensure:

  1. It retains its excellent condition or can be restored appropriately to a pristine state.
  2. You preserve all the paperwork indicating its provenance.
  3. You protect it from damage, theft and other adverse situations.
What are the different types of Samurai swords?

Samurai swords are available in several types. The major kinds are:

  1. Katana
  2. Wakizashi
  3. Tanto
  4. Nodachi
  5. Tachi

Of these, the Katan is the most recognized.

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.
