Bamboo Style Katana

At Bugei we reach into history to design blades to be used. This includes features that are not readily visible, like our 10" nakago with two mekugi to insure that the blade is secure in the tsuka. These blades are forged and folded with a softer steel (45-48 RC) surrounding the harder edge steel (59 RC). This provides excellent strength and shock resistance with superior edge holding and cutting ability. Both the tsuka and the saya are custom hand made for each individual sword. This attention to detail means that you, our customer, get the best that we can provide. The initial response to these blades has been outstanding. Because of this fact we are continuing to expand our blade offering. We now have wakizashi available in exactly the same motif as the katana to form a daisho. Included with each sword are a sword bag and cleaning kit. Hand polishing reveals the hamon, the different crystalline structure of the steel, which is attained by the unique hardening process that sets the Japanese blade apart. Our swords clearly show the martinsite edge, the pearlite body, and the troosite and sorbite crystalline structure that make up the hamon.
