This is a well-made folded steel sword, with a design inspired by Michonne's Katana from The Walking Dead. The blade is very sharp and folded 13 times resulting in over 8,000 layers. After sharpening, the blade is etched with an oxidation process to give the surface it's red color. It comes with a black leather wrapped hardwood saya with shoulder strap, silk sageo/ito, premium brass fittings, and genuine same (rayskin). The tang is secured into the handle with two bamboo mekugi. It is a very good choice for Dojo students, gifts, cutting practice, and display. It is durable enough for cutting tameshigiri and bamboo. Each sword is individually handmade so specifications vary slightly from sword to sword.
