{"product_id":"musashi-umigame-katana","title":"Musashi \"Umigame\" Katana","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrom the Musashi Platinum Masaru Series comes this intricately hand crafted “Umigame” Katana. Kobuse-kitae hand forged technique combining 1060 and 1045 high carbon steel resulting a beautiful and resilient blade with a unique hamon pattern. With hard steel wrapped around soft steel, the Umigame Katana is both strong and flexible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe detailed Maru Gata style brass tsuba depicts the “Umigame”, or sea turtle swimming through the tsuba. It also features brass Fuchi and Kashira. Rare blue color theme really compliments the Umigame tsuba, like the blue ocean that the sea turtle is swimming in. Saya is covered with high gloss blue coating and the tsuka is wrapped in blue cotton over real ray skin.\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 actually 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 advance cutting techniques that requires the katana to change direction rapidly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncluded with this katana is a maintenance kit to make sure your katana lasts a lifetime as well as a premium sword bag, deluxe gift box, Certificate of Authenticity. Each sword is individually numbered on the tang.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e41\" Overall Length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1060 and 1045 Carbon Steel Blade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClay Tempered Blade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e58HRC Blade Hardness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOxidized Brass Tsuba and Fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChoji Hamon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRay Skin Handle Wrapped in Blue Cotton Cord\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlue Saya\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGift Box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaintenance Kit Included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCertificate of Authenticity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Musashi Swords","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":7416710987842,"sku":"SS242BL","price":699.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0014\/2622\/7266\/files\/12.jpg?v=1759442166","url":"https:\/\/musashiswords.com\/products\/musashi-umigame-katana","provider":"Musashi Swords","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
