Bamboo Wakizashi1045 Carbon Steel, Hand Forged, Full Tang, Battle Ready$171.99 This Bamboo Katana keeps the bamboo theme focused on the fittings rather than covering the whole piece in decoration. The black lacquered saya gives it a quiet outline on a stand, while the Bamboo Leaf tsuba and 1045 carbon steel blade keep the main details easy to read. The bo-hi / fuller adds a visible groove along the blade, so the full-length profile does not look flat from the side.
