Musashi 6003 XGF Miyamoto Musashi, arguably
the most famous sword master in Japanese history, fought more than 60
duels before retiring and writing his famous treatise on swordplay, the
“Book of Five Rings”. Development of the two-sword style of swordplay,
with the Daito (long sword) and Wakizashi being used together, is credited
to Musashi. Mounted in black, the Musashi Elite is faithful to the
original down to the famous double-ring iron tsubas. The tsuka-ito is in
leather over ray skin. The blades are hand-forged in high-carbon steel,
with new geometry to enhance cutting ability. It is edge-tempered using
the traditional clay tempering method, resulting in a distinct hamon. Edge
hardness is HRC60, back hardness HRC40. The grip is double-pegged to the
tang for safety. The cutting style katanas (Elite, XL, XL Light) include a
traditional maintenance kit.
