41″ Musha Hand Forged Dragon Roll Samurai Sword

From the Musha collection comes this intricately hand forged “Tatsu-maki” (Dragon Roll) Katana. Featuring a full tang polished 1045 high carbon steel blade makes this a resilient katana that is razor sharp right out of the box. A unique feature is the 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.

The detailed tsuba depicts a traditional Japanese dragon wrapping around the katana with a matching Kashira and Fuchi. The tsuba depicts a Ryu (Dragon) that is one of the four divine beasts from Japanese mythology and it is known to rule the seas. Ryu is known to summon fierce storms by its howls and transforms into a ravaging tornado called “Tatsu-maki”. Tatsu in Japanese Kanji means “Dragon” and Maki means “Roll”. This dragon is frequently known to be the emblem of the hero or the emperor.

The wooden handle has been expertly wrapped in black, cotton cord over white rayskin with black menuki.

Designed to be a fully functional katana, the Dragon Roll Katana with its quality build will astonish you with its value. Hand forged and full tang, qualities that budget minded swordsmen look for in a samurai sword.
