Description
Performance Katana Bamboo Whisper with Maru Blade, Polished Edge with Decorative Hamon, Black Ishime Saya and Genuine Rayskin
The Bamboo Whisper is a performance-grade katana forged in Maru construction from modern steel, offering excellent durability and responsive handling. Designed for tameshigiri (test cutting) and traditional martial arts practice, it embodies a perfect harmony of refined elegance and functional strength.
The blade showcases a smooth, polished edge, reflecting its clean geometry and precise cutting performance. A single bo-hi lightens the blade and enhances balance, creating a crisp tachikaze (audible feedback) with every swing. The iron tsuba features a minimalist openwork design, conveying quiet strength and understated sophistication. A bamboo-patterned iron kashira completes the fittings, adding a subtle natural motif to the koshirae.
The saya is finished in a textured black stone-effect lacquer, offering a subdued, elegant aesthetic that complements the blue sageo. The tsuka is tightly wrapped in deep blue silk ito over white samegawa (rayskin), ensuring a secure and comfortable grip. A brass kojiri adds a warm metallic accent to the overall composition.
An ideal choice for practitioners and collectors, the Bamboo Whisper blends modern craftsmanship with the timeless grace of Japanese sword traditions.
