Sugoi Steel™ Hana (花) Series Take Bamboo (竹) 1045 Carbon Steel Functional Katana Sword

This is a classic take (竹) bamboo decorated Katana sword from the Sugoi Steel™ Hana (花) Series. This stunningly glossy sword has beautifully handcrafted artisan design work in a bamboo theme decorating the Tsuba (guard) and Saya (scabbard). The blade is heat tempered 1045 high carbon steel, with a full-tang and razor sharp edge capable of serious destructive power. This is a fully functional, battle-ready weapon, with a gorgeous decorative finish in classic high gloss black. The scabbard and handle are made of hardwood, and the guard and pommel are sturdy aluminum alloy finished in matte black plating.

Note: This is a very dangerous, functional sword, and should be handled with extreme care. Some maintenance is required.
