Check the option button above to add a stand for only $4.00 extra! Our stands are originally $6.99. These are new in the box, but we are offering a bonus discount on a stand if you purchase this sword.

We will send you a free cotton cloth sword bag to keep your sword in for ultimate protection of the scabbard and tsuka.

The blade of the sword is carbon steel with the traditional handmade hamon and curved blade. The 1045 carbon steel blade comes with an etching of Japanese characters. The katana's shape and structure is made according to the Japanese traditional construction methods.

The blade is crafted with 1045 carbon steel, and is formed by thousands of hand forged. It is heated to 850 Celsius. This process produces a hard edge and softer back after water quenching. The bent of the katana is self-formed through quenching. The blade is also abrading polished through numerous coursed by handcraft, with point line, sharp edge and fine clear temper line.
The Guard is absolutely classy in the sunburst tsuba style, made with cast metal in black matte finish.

The Saya (scabbard) is made of wood with a black lacquer finish. The tskua (handle) is made of imitation rayskin and cotton ribbon in a Tsumami Maki wrapping style. The saya also has 8 sageo knots around the kurikata (knob on scabbard).

Key features of our Musashi The Last Soul Samurai Katana Sword:

Shikoro Ken, also called "saw sword" has ridges like those of a saw and can be used in different ways. In combat they can become deadly and shed the skin of the target. It also works like a saw when cutting, making it easier to make an entry.

Overall Length In Scabbard: 40 Inches
Handle To Tsuba: 11 Inches
Blade Length To Tsuba: 27 1/4 Inches
Sword Length Without Scabbard: 38 1/4 Inches



This Shikoro Ken is a unique sword that is hard to find. The blade in 440 stainless steel and the "saw" part is sharpened. The scabbard has a plastic inside, as opposed to the traditional wood. If it was wood, the saw of the blade would constantly saw away at it. The plastic is more sturdy and you will not have that problem. The outside of the scabbard is painted with black and high gloss finish. The handle has a leather wrapping. The tsuba is metal.

Comes in Red Or Black. If you do not choose a color, we will send you which ever sword that is in stock at time of order placement.

This sword is called, "The Blind Swordsman Zatoichi". It is half tang and stainless steel with a hamon. This is used by Zatoichi as a Shikomizue, which means cane sword.

The saya (scabbard) is constructed of wood, painted red with black around the meeting of the saya and tsuka, and then lacquered.

Blade Length: 27.5 Inches
Overall Length: 39.5 Inches
Handle Length: 10.5 Inches
Blade Material: Stainless Steel
Blade Thickness: .29 Inches

Zatoichi seems to be only a harmless blind anma (masseur) who wanders around the country making his living by gambling; however, he is also highly-skilled in swordsmanship, specifically iaijutsu. He does not carry a traditional katana, instead using a well-made shikomizue (cane sword). Shikomizue were generally straight lower-quality blades which could not compare with regular katanas, but as revealed in Zatoichi's Cane Sword, his weapon is nearly superior to one as it was forged by a master blade smith just before his prime. A recurring theme of both the films and television series is Zatoichi protecting the innocent from oppressive warring yakuza gangs, and general injustice. His fighting skill is incredible, even more so considering he grips the sword in an inverse manner; this combined with his sometimes inexplicably keen ear, nose and proprioception renders him a capable surprise attacker. He is also most likely ambidextrous.
