Shirasaya sword - monosteel The word "shirasaya" is literally translated as "White Scabbard". A shirasaya is mostly used as a 'storage' place for a Japanese sword or to display the blade. This kind of sword configurations are not intended to use for practising or tameshigiri ! The lack of the tsuba, which is needed to give the sword a good balance and prevent your hand to slide down to the blade, and the lack of a good descent handle wrapping (tsukamaki) make it too hard and dangerous to really use this sword in your dojo. This shirasay sword is hand-forged by the Huanuo forge (T10 steel) and differentially hardened. If you like to build your own katana, this is the ideal solution for you.
