Hand Forged Musashi Series

	The Sword Box This Box is quite beautiful and is made of silk covered bamboo. The silk features a maroon dragon pattern.
	The carying handle Each piece of this series is handmade. This includes the carrying handle. The detail of this one piece is amazing by itself.
	The Latches This simple yet elegant latch is a traditional latch used on many sword boxes and is very effective at secureing the box.
	Full View What can I say... Its beautiful. Gold felt cushions the sword and its accessories. Each piece is held in place by foam under the felt. The box contains the sword, tsuka, tsuba, cleaning kit, sword bag, and certificate.
	The Kissaki (Point) The point is quite sharp and has a RCH of 90. Here you can also see the detail of the blood grove and the blood line.
	Shinjane (Wide Tip) The flaired tip is used for piercing metal up to 14 guage.
	Profile This is another shot of the cutting edge (first 8 inches of the blade) of the sword. Again you can see the bloodline and blood grove in detail.
	C.O.A. Certificate of authenticity. It tells all of the technical information and is signed, dateed, and numbered. Sam Shungs' signature is on this card. The COA is laminated.
	Serial Number The serial number is on the tang of the blade and matches the COA.
	Date The Date is on the tang of the blade and matches the COA.
	Signature The signature is on the tang of the blade and matches the COA.
	Tauka & Tang A nice shot of the tang and tsuka.
	Habaki The Habaki is made of brass and displays the proud doubble "D" tsuba (the tsuba design Miyamoto Musashi- the sword saint of Japan). This is another wonderful time to admire the beauty of a deep blood grove.
	Rayskin The tsuka is accented with high quality rayskin to give the sword a superior grip. Rayskin is the traditional material used on the tsuka. The black wrap is a high quality canvis cord.
	Tsuba The tsuba is made of copper and has a zinc oxide finish
	C.O.A. Back The COA back tells about the parts of the sword and shows the other design tsuba's in the Musashi Series.

These swords are completely "combat ready". This means that they are not display swords. They are designed to cut, and are generally purchased for Dojo (school) training and competition. These are Real swords- so handel them with care.

The price for one of these swords is $600.00 + shipping (depending on where you live it may be as much as $50.00). Just drop me a line and let me know what you are looking for. I will then reply with a few solutions that meet your criteria.

When viewing these photos, pay close attention to the Tsubas. They reflect different Periods with in Japanese (Nihon) History.
