Decorative katana sword Kasumi AISI 1045, Bo-Hi groove

Product detailed description

Decorative replica of a Kasumi katana sword, AISI 1045 steel, Bo-Hi

A forged replica of a katana sword with a blade made of high-quality AISI 1045 carbon steel, featuring a polished hamon imitation and a functional Bo-Hi groove. This sharpened sword is suitable as an impressive decoration, but its construction also makes it ideal for active martial arts practice. The Bo-Hi groove, when a correct cut is made, produces an acoustic effect (tachi kaze), allowing for verification of cutting precision. Due to its monocomposite construction (hardness approx. 48 HRC), this model is not intended for cutting hard materials. The elegant matte black saya and tsuka wrapped in genuine ray skin make this katana a unique piece for any lover of Japanese history. Dellinger places emphasis on safety and recommends using the sword exclusively for decorative and training purposes.

The blade tip is shaped in the shinogi-zukuri style with a Chu-Kissaki tip and a pronounced Diamond-Shaped Yokote. The overall craftsmanship adheres to traditional visual standards, making this sword a valuable decorative item or a tool for aspiring martial arts practitioners.
