Bushido, or “Way of the Warrior”, defines the code of conduct an honorable Samurai must follow and our Bushido katana is designed to perpetuate this tradition. The blade of the Bushido is hand-forged and folded from K120C powder steel, with a medium-length (chu) kissaki. The saya is deeply lacquered with inlaid brass cherry blossom (sakura) flowers. High quality ray skin (same) is used on the tsuka. The tsuba is crafted in blackened and bronzed iron, with detailing in gold and silver and a battle scene decoration. The tsuka-ito and the sageo are woven from premium Japanese cotton. The fuchi and kashira are of blackened bronze with brass detailing, and the kojiri, koiguchi and kurikata are of polished buffalo horn. The habaki is a one-piece brass construction. See Models SH1211 and SH1212 for the Wakizashi and Tanto details.

Wow! What a gorgeous piece.
The buffalo horn Kojiri and Kurigata on the brown Saya inlaid with Sakura flowers has a great artistic effect.
The Tsuba itself is a work of art with gold and silver detail on bronze.
The Hada (grain) is visible in the folded powder steel and is contrasted well against the tempered Hamon.
I don't think I could have found another sword with this grade of steel and attention to design at this price. I'm very happy with it.
