Handmade Sword
Bamboo Katana β 1080 High Carbon Steel, Hand Forged, Full Tang, Battle Ready
SKU: 935
This Bamboo Katana puts the bamboo tsuba detail at the center, with a black lacquer saya keeping the rest of the outline quiet. The 1080 carbon steel blade gives it a stronger material identity than the 1045 Bamboo versions, while the bo-hi / fuller adds a visible groove along the blade without turning the page toward performance claims.
