Musashi Wakizashi II

Partner of perhaps the most effective and lethal sword ever designed, the Japanese Wakazashi is swift, elegant, and deadly. The designs in the Musashi are modeled after the crests and patterns used by the Ronin of Japan. The Ronin were masterless Samurai; wandering mercenaries who roamed the land for thousands years earning their keep by selling their martial services to others. Those with honor are still remembered today: like the two legendary samurai Miyamoto Musashi and Tomoe Gozen.

This katana DOES come with a Samurai tsuba.

Please note that the tsuba on this katana can be replaced, yet when it has been seated it remains solid enough to properly deal with full-contact combat!
