MUSHA "UROBOROSU" KATANA - SS1430BK

From the Musha Collection comes this intricately hand forged “Uroborosu” Katana. Full tang 1045 high carbon steel makes this a resilient katana that is sharp right out of the box.

Traditional black color themed katana with Maru Gata style tsuba depicts "Uroborosu", representing the concept of eternity and endless return, as well as the unity of time's beginning and end,

This blade features integrated Bo-Hi on the blade. Bo-Hi is commonly known as blood grooves, but that is a common misconception. The purpose of the Bo-Hi is to help reduce the weight of the katana, it actually has nothing to do with channeling the blood. Making the Katana lighter enables the user to wield the katana better and puts less stress on the hands. Not to mention it benefits some advance cutting techniques that requires the katana to change direction rapidly.

All Musha swords are able to be fully disassembled. Maru Gata style Tsuba, Fuchi, Kashira all can be swapped out for a different set. Real wood handle is wrapped with traditional cotton and real ray skin.
