{"product_id":"musashi-black-ryu-katana","title":"Musashi Black \"Ryu\" Katana","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrom the Musashi Silver Collection Shirakawa Series comes this intricately hand crafted “Dragon” Katana. Using Maru-kitae hand forged technique with 1060 high carbon steel the result is a beautiful and resilient blade with a unique hamon pattern. The Dragon Katana is razor sharp and ready to cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe detailed Maru Gata style brass tsuba depicts Dragons flying around the tsuba. The wood handle is real ray skin wrapped in traditional black cotton cord while the high gloss saya makes the Dragon katana a great piece for your collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA unique feature is the integrated Bo-Hi on the blade. Bo-Hi is commonly known as blood grooves, but that is a common misconception. The purpose of the Bo-Hi is to help reduce the weight of the katana, it has nothing to do with channeling the blood. Making the Katana lighter enables the user to wield the katana better and puts less stress on the hands. Not to mention it benefits some advanced cutting techniques that require the katana to change direction rapidly.               \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncluded with this katana is a sword bag. Each sword is individually numbered on the tang with matching Certificate of Authenticity\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e41\" Hand forged Katana\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaru-Kitae forging method\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1060 high carbon steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull Tang\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReal hamon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRazor Sharp Edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaru Gata Style Brass Tsuba\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrass Fuchi and Kashira\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSword bag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCertificate of Authenticity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Musashi Swords","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":7420735356994,"sku":"SS811BK","price":259.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0014\/2622\/7266\/files\/SS811BK_9.jpg?v=1713374985","url":"https:\/\/musashiswords.com\/products\/musashi-black-ryu-katana","provider":"Musashi Swords","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
