Steel Samurai knife ”Tanto SHIRASAYA” – NEW!!!

Description

Shirasaya refers to a special sword mount, which was formerly used for the gentle keeping of the blade. Especially in times of peace the blades were ideal protected stored in it. The unvarnished Magnolia wood absorbs the moisture inside the sheath, leads it to the outside and thus protects against rust. Many Shirasaya were provided with a “Sayagaki”, an inscription, which gave information on smith, origin and classification. On the streets of Japan, the inconspicuous gear without handle and guard, especially in the late 19th Century was used because at that time the Emperor banned the carrying of Samurai swords. The Shirasaya mount, which was similar to a wooden sword or wooden stick was a clever way to wear the sword unnoticed.

This model of Tanto Shirasaya has a stainless steel sharpened blade and is an exact replica of a genuine Samurai Tanto (knife) with a high-grade stainless steel blade. The knife is suitable for training as well as for decorative object.
