From the Musashi Gold Masaru Series comes this intricately hand crafted “Circumspect” Katana. Maru-kitae hand forged technique with 1095 high carbon steel resulting a beautiful blade and real clay tempered process to create a distinct and unique real hamon pattern.
The theme of the Maru Gata style tsuba is a famous Chinese proverb: The Cicada, Mantis and Canary. As the old saying goes, the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the Canary behind waiting in prey. The meaning is: Someone who covets gains before his eyes does not have the foresight to see what lies ahead. The detailed iron tsuba brings the ancient proverb to life with the mantis and cicada on one side of the tsuba, while the canary lurks on the other side of the tsuba.
The wood handle is made with real ray skin wrapped in traditional black cotton cord. The handle or Tsuka, also features iron Fuchi and kashira. The beautiful blade is hand forged to full tang with its unique serial number and forge date etched on the tang.
Included with this katana is a maintenance kit to make sure your katana lasts a lifetime as well as a premium sword bag, deluxe gift box, as well as a Certificate of Authenticity matching the serial number and the forge date on the tang.
