Hanwei - Bamboo Katana

In the year 1876, the samurai were prohibited from publicly carrying their swords. This attempt to end a thousand-year-old tradition was not accepted by the proud warrior class, giving rise to the "Stick Katana". The revered blades were now concealed by harmless walking sticks, but the katana endured

The Bamboo Stick Katana by Hanwei combines an intricately carved bamboo sword scabbard and handle with a blade (Nagasa) made of 1106561065 carbon steel, hand-forged and traditionally hardened in clay. The sharpness of the cutting edge and the durability of the blade body, which are created by this technique, embody the true secret of the samurai sword.

From the house of Hanwei.
