Traditional Two Handed Katana

This two handed katana is a traditional, authentic design. It is single-edged and slightly curved. Designed as a two-hand weapon, its relatively light weight makes it quite possible to use with one hand. The katana was the most important weapon for the samurai and it was also common among Japanese officers during World War II.

Miyamoto Musashi is touted as being the first to develop (or at least write about) a method of fighting with this style of katana.b His treatise is the Go Rin No Sho, often translated as the Book of Five Rings.

Our Two Handed Katana is almost 46 inches long with a 30 inch blade and 14 inch handle. The blade is 440 stainless with etched writing. The two tone bamboo tsuba really sets off this beautiful sword.
