Musashi Ichi Katana | John Lee

Hand-forged Samurai Katana by John Lee

John Lee's Musashi Ichi Katana embodies the essence of traditional Japanese swordsmithing, with a beautifully hand-forged blade of hardened carbon steel in the traditional style, complete with a fine Hamon line for an authentic look.

• Blade length: 72 cm to Tsuba
• Overall length without sheath: 103 cm
• Handle length: 30.5 cm
• Weight without scabbard: 1000 grams

The Musashi Ichi Katana comes with a certificate of authenticity and is wrapped in a cotton cloth and wooden box with a floral design, adding to its elegant presentation and protection.

The blade features a Bo-Hi (channel) to reduce weight and optimise balance, which is essential for precise cuts and manoeuvrability.

The handle (tsuka) is lined with real fish (ray) skin (Same) and wrapped with black cotton tsuka-Ito, traditionally placed for a firm grip and comfort during use.

The katana features a traditional Tsuba made of cast iron in a double ring shape, along with a black lacquered wooden scabbard (saya) and a Habaki made of brass, all expertly crafted after examples from leading museums.
