Masahiro Takeda Shingen Samurai Sword

Takeda Shingen, The Tiger of Kai, was a preeminent fuedal Japanese lord with great military skills and might.

This katana has been forged to honour such a great man.When doing so, only a hand forged 1045 high carbon steel blade that measues 28 inches can do. To protect such a fine blade a scabbard is needed, and this one for this Katana has a glossy lacquer finish on the saya (scabbard).

A cast metal Takeda Shingen tsuba (guard) pays the ultimate tribute to such a great warrior. A black cotton sageo (wrap around scabbard) and ito (handle wrap) braid, no nylon has been used. A cotton sword bag is also included with each sword and packaged in a tubular box. 42.75 inches overall.
