It has been said that in simplicity lies great beauty, an axiom stunningly validated by the Folded Steel Golden Oriole Katana and Wakizashi. The story told by the stunning Tsuba is of a mantis stealthily stalking the cricket, unaware that he is himself being stalked by the Golden Oriole. The deeply lacquered blue of the Saya is repeated in the Japanese cotton Tsuka-ito, and the Oriole appears again on the Kashira. Unmistakably Hanwei quality, the over length (14") grip of the katana is secured to the long tang by double bamboo pegs. This longer handle gives a superb balance to the sword, allowing it to move very freely and very quickly.
This functional folded steel blade with authentic temper line. Genuine rayskin handle with blue cord wrap. Cast metal guard has antique copper finish with brass and gold highlights depicting mantis stalking cricket while Oriole oversees. Wood scabbard with blue lacquer finish. The sword comes complete with sword bag.
