Kumo Katana - Japanese Sword
This Kumo Katana model is one of the basic katanas in this serie. It is a
very strong , functional battle ready Sword
The blade of the Kumo sword is made of 1060 spring steel and thru-hardened.
These swords are very strong and very good cutters. Because the blade of this
katana isn't differentially hardened (by using the clay process) it doesn't
show a hamonline.. It's not just a 'good chopper' but thanks to the imported
Japanese fittings that were used to mount this sword, it does become a very
nice collectors item as well !
The tsuka features genuie Same (Ray skin) on the handle, with an imported Japanese
cotton wrap. This blade has a hi (groove) ,a basic polish and a mirror polished
hi . The saya of this katana is not the usual black one you can found on many
other swords; This one is a duocolor saya, brown with little black dots..You
can find the same color combination back in the Sageo, which is imported from
Japan as well. The katana issupplied with a cotton cloth bag.
If you're a Budo practitioner and just like to have a good, functional, battle
ready katana for tameshigiri (cutting exercises), this is one you can add to
your 'to-have' list. You won't be disappointed ! Blade length: 77 cm
