Product information "Bamboo Katana"
In 1876, the Samurai were banned from carrying their swords. This attempt to end a thousand year tradition was not received well by the proud warrior class and the "stick katana" was born. Innocuous walking canes now concealed the revered blades, but the katana lived on. The Bamboo Stick Katana combines an artfully curved bamboo scabbard and handle with a blade (nagasa) that is constructed of hand-forged 1065 high-carbon steel and is differentially tempered using a traditional claying method. The edge hardness and resilient blade body produced by this technique embody the true secret of the Samurai sword.

I am the proud new owner of this Bamboo katana by Hanwei/Paul Chen. It has been over a month now, but still everytime I draw this sword I'm amazed by the beauty of it! It doesn't really make a difference: sheathed (in the scabbard) of drawn out by the ingenious click-system: it looks great. A very good looking and sharp shirasaya. Although it is lighter than my katana it feels very good. The balance of the bamboo katana is formidable. It could be used for cutting excersis, but I am very reluctant to do so. Not the most cheapest shirasaya katana, but one of great beauty, functionality and a great sword for display. Overall: well worth the money! And a big thanx to the team of swords and more. I was a bit concerned to order (quite expensive) products online and allong that outside of my own country, but it all turned out very well! You've got yourselfs a satisfied and happy new customer!

Einfach aber sehr sehr gut ^^ Sehr schön gearbeitet und durch die schlichtheit wirkt es wiederum irgendwie edel kann dieses Schwet nur empfehlen

Dieses Schwert ist schön und einfach, gut verarbeitet und schlicht. Ich habe mit diesem Schwert genau bekommen was ich wollte und noch ein bisschen mehr denn es wurde von Hanwei mit einem Schwertpflegeset graniert mit dem ich nicht gerechnet hätte da es im Lieferumfang nicht angeführt wurde. Die schärfe ist einwandfrei und die mitgelieferte Schwerthülle ist sehr schön. Dennoch muss ich einen subjektiven Makel veststellen an dem aber niemand Schuld hat, das Bambus ist mir eine Spur zu gelb. Klingt komisch ist aber so. Troz des missfallens der "Bambus Farbe" 5 von 5 Punkten für dieses Schwert.

Brooklyn Smasher
"It´s unbelievable. We´re seeing eight to 10 bats break every game. Guys are coming back saying they hit the ball on the sweet spot and it still broke." This quote caught our President, Lynn C. Thompson´s attention. It´s from an article in the Los Angeles Times describing how frequently baseball bats break and nearly injure the players in major league games. The article chronicled the debate currently raging among players over which bat is better, those made of ash, which is lighter and slightly flexible, or those made of maple which is heavier and stiffer. As he read, Lynn began to suspect there might be a market for a baseball bat that just couldn´t be broken. What kid, let alone an adult, wouldn´t want an unbreakable bat? Now Cold Steel is proud to offer you our first forays into the manufacturing of athletic equipment, the Brooklyn Smasher® and the Brooklyn Crusher®. Because they´re precision injection molded out of heavy-grade polypropylene, these bats just can´t be broken. There´s no need to worry about shards of wood flying in your face. No matter what you hit or how hard you swing them, they just won´t break. And they´re durable too, they won´t rot, crack, or splinter, or even fade. You can treat them as roughly as you choose. You needn´t worry about dirt or the weather affecting them either since they´re impervious to the elements and clean up with soap and water. Try that with a wood bat and you might damage it. They´re versatile too. Like any other baseball bat, croquet mallet, golf club or hockey stick, they can be used in an emergency, as an extremely effective self-defense tool. You can keep one behind the front door, under the bed, or in a car trunk and forget about it until you need it. They can be used as game bats, practice bats, warm-up bats, loaner bats, inclement weather bats, school or league bats or kid´s bats. They can also serve as a cross over trainers to develop strength, agility and eye hand coordination for those studying Western Saber Fencing, Kendo, Kenjitsu, Filipino Stick and Sword Fighting and Chinese martial arts. Best of all, they make good economic sense. With a suggested retail price of $45 and $40 they´re comparable in price to good wooden bats, and since they´re unbreakable they will last far longer than any wooden bat on the market. Specifications: Weight: 2lbs. 7 oz.(Smasher) 2lbs. 1oz. (Crusher) Overall: 34" (Smasher) 29" (Crusher) Material: Polypropylene

Raptor Shobu Zukuri
The Raptor series, our new line of cutting katanas, has been designed for the cutting practitioner who does not necessarily have access to mats but who wishes to practice and perfect his cutting technique. The blades are forged in 5160 high-carbon steel and specially heat treated to produce very high resilience and greater tolerance of misdirected cuts than a conventional differentially tempered blade. The edge geometry is configured to facilitate the cutting of both soft and semi-hard materials without chipping, allowing the cutter a wide choice of targets. The Raptor Shobu-Zukuri(Iris Leaf) blade has an elegant shape and powerful cutting ability. Notable for the absence of a Yokote transition, this blade design became popular during the Nanbokucho era (1336 ~1392 AD) and its popularity continued into the Muromachi period. Details: Overall length: 45.5" Blade length: 29" Handle length: 13" Weight: 2lb 12oz 5160 high-carbon steel Details will vary slightly from piece to piece.
