CAS Hanwei Date Musamune Katana SH24960

In the new generals Series, hanwei artisans pay homage to the one-eyed Dragon of OSHA, date masamune. Known for his audacious Crescent moon kabuto and black and gold Armor, his legacy is one of conquest by blood and steel, contrasted by a reputation of being forward-thinking, cultured, diplomatic, and sympathetic to foreign causes and Christianity. Our date masamune Katana features the classic hanwei tsuba of him holding a War fan, while the blade side features soldiers with firearms. The kashira is embossed with a blackened one-eyed Dragon and the kashira with a gold embossed Falcon. The tsuba is wrapped in brown suede around a white same (Ray skin) that feels great in the hands. The meticulously detailed gold menuki of date's War and kabuto on one side and his breastplate and shoulder Armor put this sword over the top. The 27 1/4" forged steel blades possess a prominent and deep hamon and is well balanced for cutting or collecting. A black textured saya prevents smudging or fingerprints and is contrasted with a brown cotton Sage and Buffalo horn kurikata and kojiri. This Katana would fit perfectly in the dojo, home, or office with the date masamune kabuto (Ah2088) to complete a collection.
