Blade
without Bo-Hi
Blade
Mounted in Shirasaya
$975.00
|

There
have been many request for blades in shira saya. Here are
two impressive and very beautiful swords hand forged and
folded from Swedish Powdered Steel mounted in shira saya
(resting scabbard). One blade has bo-hi and the other does
not so that the choice is up to you the customer. As impressive
as the blades are the shira saya themselves are exceptionally
well made and truly provide a fitting mount for the sword.
Shira saya are not designed to be used. The are a resting
saya for storing or displaying blades when they are not
mounted. In Ancient Japan a single sword may have had several
different sets of mounting i.e.. katana, tachi, tachi in
battle mounts, etc.. While bo-hi lightens the blade it also
reduces lateral strength. If your prime objective is kata
or iaido, bo-hi may be an excellent choice. If however you
are interested in using your sword for heavy cutting then
you might not want to have bo-hi in your blade.

The
beautiful Hada and hamon are both easily visible. The
hamon is produced by the heat treatment and the hada by
the forging and folding process.
|
The
blade is fitted with a habaki so that the sword fits in
the shira saya. The hamon is clearly visible as is the hada.
|
Here
is a view of the kissaki and the boshi. The hada, grain
of the steel, is plainly visible as is the yokote.

The
quality of the shira saya is excellent in the tradition
of Japanese saya makers.
