This is a sword and we believe in quality over quantity. swords are hand-made, fully functional, and "battle ready" katanas. They are best suited for practice in all sword arts, completion cutting, and collecting. The Japanese Katanas, hand-made by lyuesword, are of the highest quality. lyuesword has been produced Japanese swords for professional collectors and practitioners of Iaido, Iaijutsu, and Kenjutsu for over 10 years!
The tsuka (handle) is covered in black same (ray skin) and the Tsuka Ito (handle wrap) is best japanese real black leather 10mm wide.
The tsuba on katana is made of iron and decorated with a different relief on each side.
The scabbard(saya) is also made of hard wood and both the mouth and butt are capped with black buffalo horn.The hard buffalo horn is functional detail typically reserved for higher quality scabbards.The ray skin wrapping under the silk cord(sageo). It is a nice detail which enhances both the look(by adding contrast) and the function(by providing extra grip) of the scabbard.
The sword is a functional Japanese katana and not a replica, it is considered a weapon and it is extremely sharp. This sword can easily sever a 5" thick bamboo with single stroke. The katana can be completely disassembled for full Maintenance.
This sword can also be made dull so that you can use it for practice, like in Iaido !
