PLEASE NOTE: The Tsuka Ito is pictured as Blue however, the one that we have in stock has Black Tsuka Ito.
The Wave style katana and Wakizashi are a custom offering from Bugei. The use of Swedish powdered steel and sophisticated forging and heat treating results in outstanding quality and performance. Strength, edge holding, and beauty have all been significantly enhanced by the use of this steel. The blade evidences a gunome style hamon and a dramatic ayasugi-hada with mokume and masame. Also available on this sword is bo-hi ( a groove in the shinogi ji the length of the blade). The steel tsuba has an engraved nami (wave) pattern as does the fuchi and kashira. The nakago (tang) is secured with two mekugi (holding pins) to ensure strength, safety and longevity of use. Please see the forging process within our site, complete with pictures on how these fine swords are made. A limited number of these blades will be available each year.
Tsuba style options - please note the photos are of the matching Katana style. The Wakizashi tsuba are in same style but have a slightly different design.
