We have designed an authentic Japanese style reverse blade katana sword that features the traditional hand-braided diamond pattern cord wrap upon a shimmering silver fabric with four dragon menuki inset. The blackened steel tsuba and pommel are hand pounded. The sharp battle ready high-carbon steel reverse blade is mounted with a traditional copper habaki which attests to its quality. The scabbard on this reverse blade katana sword is hand made from hard wood, and wrapped in thick black leather.
For those that are unfamiliar with the reverse blade katana sword, the sharp side of the blade is opposite where you would normally expect it, while the normal cutting side, is the wide unsharpened portion of the blade. The idea behind this is when striking your opponent as you would with a normal katana sword, the opponent would be stunned when hit by the reverse blade, not cut. As this reverse blade katana is a real sword, great care should be taken as hitting someone could cause serious injury, even death! This is a real sword not a toy! Item #2044
