| Miyamoto Musashi, arguably the most famous swordmaster
in Japanese history, fought more than 60 duels before retiring and
writing his famous treatise on swordplay, the "Book of Five Rings".
Development of the two-sword style of swordplay, with the Daito (long
sword) and Wakizashi being used together, is credited to Musashi.
Mounted in black, the Musashi Elite is faithful to the original down
to the famous double-ring iron tsubas. The tsuka-ito is in leather over ray
skin. The blade is hand-forged in 1065 high-carbon steel, with new geometry
to enhance cutting ability. It is edge-tempered using the traditional
clay tempering method, resulting in a distinct hamon. Edge hardness
is HRC60, back hardness HRC40. The grip is double-pegged to the tang
for safety. Supplied with a protective cloth bag and traditional
maintenance kit. |

Iaito: Frequent
Drawing Practice These unedged training blades provide for safe
drawing for the beginning practitioner of the 450 year old art
of Iaido. Forged from stainless steel the tempered blades are
not only maintenance-free but more importantly provide the correct
weight and balance needed for the rigors of repetitive drawing
and sword motion practice. Each blade has a deeply cut groove
(bo-hi) to provide audible feedback when swung properly. |
