Handmade Shinwa Shirasaya Samurai Sword - Exclusive Hand Forged Damascus Steel Blade with Lacquered Hardwood Scabbard (Scarlet Fang) - Perfect for Martial Arts Training, Cosplay, and Japanese Sword Collectors

Product Description

Shinwa’s sleek, eye-catching “ScarletFang” Shirasaya Sword undeniably stands apart from the rest and is a must-have for any serious sword collector. Amongst even the finest, most ornate katana, wakizashi and other common Japanese sword styles, this alluringly clean, no-frills sword is an immediate standout, sure to draw attention and spark lively conversation. The traditional shirasaya configuration’s satiny smooth lines, unique staff-like shape and hand-lacquered hardwood construction all make for a beautiful example of Japanese swordcraft’s diverse design variety and vast aesthetic range. Though its roots stretch back centuries, for most, the shirasaya represents a fresh, intriguing departure from the katana-like image ingrained in the popular imagination: ray skin and cord-wrapped tsuka, ornate guard, sageo accented saya and the like. But, interesting and alluring as the fluid, polished exterior may be, don’t forget - this sword is equal parts “silk” and “fang.” As such, the “silky” smooth saya conceals a potent pair of “fangs” - two carefully honed edges on a menacing black Damascus steel blade.
