Part of Masahiro's Historical Replica Series, the "C" katana, like the others in the series, is hand forged by master craftsmen from Longquan, China using 1060 carbon steel. This extremely sharp blade includes 1 piece brass construction habaki, a tsuka wrapped with authentic rayskin, and an antique bronze tsuba. The ito and sageo are made from woven Japanese cotton and the saya sports a deep black lacquer. A cotton sword bag is included with the katana for extra protection.
