SWORDS / Samurai Sets

Overall length wakizashi: 33"
Overall length tanto: 24"

This beautiful set contains a katana, wakizashi and a Tanto.

The katana, or the Japanese long sword, refers to a specific type of curved, single-edged sword traditionally used by the Japanese samurai. The weapon was typically worn by members of the buke warrior class paired with the wakizashi, or short sword. The two weapons together were called the daisho, and represented the social power and personal honor of the samurai.

Tanto is a Japanese blade or small sword- a smaller version of the Katana. Tanto are often interchangeable with Wakizashi, and were preferred on the battlefield due to the fact that they were smaller and got in the way of battle much less. Their use was similar, and they were a samurai's sidearm. Tanto are forged generally in hira-zukuri, meaning that they have no ridge-line, unlike the shinogi-zukuri shape of a katana. They are generally very thin and therefore would cut soft targets very, very well.

This set is a must have for any collector. Each sword features intricately designed magnificent black matt finished saya (the scabbard), a round metal guard, and a grip, wrapped with crimson and black cording.

Includes a hardwood table top display stand

This is perfect piece to add to your collection. This would be a great gift for any sword/knife collector or for yourself.

A must buy!!!
