Unique Training Shinken

Description

Sword Specifications:
This heavier sword weighs 2lbs. 9 oz. (3 lbs. w/ Saya) and has a 28.75 inch Nagasa with a 27.75 inch Cutting Edge. Nicely balanced with a slight forward weight, the sword has a fairly deep Sori of 7/8 inches. The Steel of the Blade is 1095 High Carbon Steel, folded repeatedly
to form an extremely active and very pleasing
Chu-Itame Hada and a Choji-like Hamon that is equally eye-catching.
This fine Blade is Forge-Folded using traditional Japanese sword-making techniques, including the particularly difficult
water-quenching process and clay-tempering. The Blade is also polished using traditional techniques.
The Tsuka, measuring 11 1/8 inches, has black dyed, secondary-cut panel wrap Same with High Quality Brown Leather Tsukaito
and Gendai Era (1859-1945) Cast Mixed Metal Kiku Fuchi/Kashira and Contemporary Cast Shishi Menuki from Gendai Era Original Molds.
The Saya, measuring 29 1/4 inches, has a Buffalo Horn Koiguchi, a Contemporary Cast Mixed Metal Ryu (Dragon) Kurigata
with a
Gendai Brass Handachi-style Kojiri. The Lacquer is Dappled Brown on the sides and Black on the spine and underside.
Sageo is Hand-overdyed Japanese Cotton Sanada Weave
.
The Tsuba is an extremely fine Edo Era 3 1/8 inch Circular Sukashi. MuMei (unsigned), and having been mounted more than once in the past.
The understated Floral Blossoms seating 4 Inome ( Boar's Eye, signifying Fearlessness) in the
deep, rich, coffee brown patina
makes this Tsuba particularly elegant.
The only equiv
alent I can find online to the Koshirae on these Swords are true Nihonto in the ,000 to ,000 range.
KoShinTo Daito ShinKen Swords are approximately half the cost of equivalent Nihonto.
KoShinTo Geijutsu no Ken (Art Swords), being fitted with
primarily
Edo
Era (1602-1859) Sword Fittings
are  approximately a third less than Nihonto
Equivalents.
KoShinTo Geijutsu no Ken
Display Daisho, if you could find antique Nihonto Daisho to compare,
are
two
to three
time less
expensive.
The point of constructing these Koshirae is to allow
Kenjin the opportunity to own
Truly Unique,
Deeply Refined,
Heirloom Quality Training and Display Weapons
for a relatively Affordable Price.
ALL SWORDS COME IN A SIMPLE BLACK COTTON SWORD BAG.
