Ein sehr schönes, wertiges Iaito. Im Prinzip die "stumpfe" Variante des Practical Katana von Paul Chen. Es ist nicht reich verziert, aber für die Praxis wunderbar geeignet.

Golden Oriole Wakizashi

During the Muromachi period (1568-1603), the introduction of the pairing of the Katana (the curved sword) and Wakizashi was introduced. The Wakizashi, or the shorter companion blade to the Katana, was about 18 inches long. Only the warrior class - the Samurai - was allowed to wear the two swords, which remained a custom for the next several hundred years until abolished in the 19th century. This Wakizashi is the companion piece to the Golden Oriole Katana, with matching fittings and blade construction. Supplied with protective cloth bag. KEY FEATURES: Hand forged high-carbon steel Built for cutting Traditional construction MEASUREMENTS: BLADE LENGTH: 20 ¾" HANDLE LENGTH: 7 1/4" OVERALL LENGTH: 28" WEIGHT: 1lb 8oz

Golden Oriole Katana

It has been said that in simplicity lies great beauty, an axiom stunningly validated by the Golden Oriole Katana and Wakizashi. The story told by the stunning tsuba is of a mantis stealthily stalking the cricket, unaware that he is himself being stalked by the Golden Oriole. The deeply lacquered blue of the saya is repeated in the Japanese cotton tsuka-ito, and the Oriole appears again on the kashira. Unmistakably Hanwei quality, the 14" tsuka of the katana gives a superb balance to the sword, allowing it to move very quickly and very freely. Supplied with a protective cloth bag. KEY FEATURES: Hand forged T10 high-carbon steel Built for cutting Traditional construction MEASUREMENTS: Blade length: 27 1/4" Handle length: 13 3/4" Overall length: 42 1/4" Weight: 2lb 3oz Point of Balance: 4" Width at Guard: 1.16" Width at Tip: .85" Thickness at Guard: .32" Thickness at Tip: .26" Sori: 3/4" Weight in box: 6lb 1oz Box height: 47 3/4" Box width: 5 1/2"
