Zatoichi the Blind Swordsman Hand Forged Clay Tempered 1095 Samurai Ninja Shirasaya Sword

Zatoichi the Blind Swordsman Weapon

This Zatoichi Sword is made to look just like the weapon of the blind swordsman in the long-running Japanese series of films and television show, Zatoichi's Cane Sword. The African rosewood has a warm reddish hue that hides the ultra-sharp blade within. Polished to a mirror-like surface, the blade is full tang and battle-ready. Just like the blade in the film, our shirasaya-style weapon is made through traditional Japanese forging methods to ensure the balance and strength of this fully functional weapon. 

Handmade Samurai Sword Features

The master craftsmen at Swords of Northshire repeatedly heat treat the metal to remove impurities and improve the metal’s strength. They then clay temper the metal, resulting in more flexibility and a genuine hamon line along the blade. Whether you buy this sword as a gift or use it as your dojo weapon, you can expect it to meet our highest quality standards including:

• Hand Polished & Sharpened
• Hand Forged & Clay Tempered 
• Made of 1095 High Carbon Steel
• Traditional 14 Stage Finishing
• Buffalo Horn Accents
• Free Optional Signature Engraving

We make each of our Zatoichi Swords to order, so anticipate a lead time of two to three weeks.
