Product information "John Lee Musashi Ichi Tanto"
Miamoto Musashi lived from 1584 to 1645 and went down in Japanese history as one of the most impressive samurai. He is referred to as the best Japanese swordsman. He was artist and artisan at the same time.

This fighter has been made according to original museum exhibitions. The tanto comes with a certificate of origin, wrapped in cloth and packed in a high-quality wooden box. All measures are subject to estimation.

Ein schönes Einsteiger-Tanto, in edler Verpackung, mit ein paar kleinen Abstrichen in Punkto Verarbeitung, aber zu einem unschlagbaren Preis.

Für den Preis top, es ist scharf, die Transportbox ist super , war nur leider durch Lieferung am Boden beschädigt.

Na ja, handgeschmiedet und für diesen Pries, da geht vielleicht nicht mehr. Die Passung des Mekugi, es ist übrigends nur einer, ist etwas lieblos und auch die Griffendkappe ist sehr einfach. Die "hochwertige Sammler Holzkasette" versteckt man am besten im Schrank. Die Schärfe war bei der Lieferung etwas entäuschend, ist aber inzwischen annehmbar da der Stahl gut schärfbar ist.
