Honshu boshin katana, united cutlery

With the Honshu Boshin Katana, United Cutlery has fused tradition and innovation to produce a masterpiece of modern sword design. The Boshin remains true to the roots of the legendary katana sword of yesteryear and features a blade approximately 77 cm long made of 1060 carbon steel, which is unparalleled in terms of sharpness and durability.

Yet the boshin is peerless. It is by no means the same as an ordinary katana. Here, traditional decorations have been replaced with sleek, contemporary elements, resulting in an innovative and thoroughly modern weapon. The handle is covered in textured thermoplastic rubber (TPR), providing an ergonomic grip unattainable with the classic ray skin and cord combination. It ends in an oversized pommel made of polished steel, and the guard is free of artistic decorations in favor of a practical, tapered elliptical shape. In keeping with the sword's clear, functional design, the simple, leather-covered wooden scabbard impresses with its understated elegance and is fitted only with a genuine leather cord ( sageo ).

Even compared to more expensive swords, the remarkably affordable Honshu Boshin katana outshines the competition. There's something zen-like about using it, so get your own copy now and see for yourself!
