Handmade Red Zatoichi Sword - 42 Inches

Handmade Red Zatoichi Sword - 42 Inches Review

See more picture

Zatoichi is seemingly only a harmless blind masseur who wanders around the country making his living by gambling; however, he is also highly skilled in swordsmanship, specifically Iaijutsu. He keeps his sword concealed within his cane. Cane swords, or shikomizue, were generally straight, lower-quality blades, which could not compare with regular katanas - However as revealed in Zatoichi's Cane Sword, his weapon is nearly superior to a katana and was created by a master sword smith just before his prime.

A recurring theme of both the films and television series episodes concerns Zatoichi protecting the innocent from oppressive warring Yakuza gangs and general injustice. Zatoichi's now-trademark inverted hold on his cane sword grip combined with his abilities using such a stance, his sometimes inexplicably keen ears and nose, and personal perception renders him a capable surprise attacker.

No edged weapon in history has ever been surrounded with such Mystique and tradition like the Japanese sword. The sword is so closely associated with the Japanese samurai that it became known as the "soul of the samurai". It was both weapon and symbol, forged as a religious act and wielded with superhuman skill. A sword forged by a celebrated master was one of the most prized gifts that a warrior could receive.

For more than 2600 years, the "City of Treasure Sword", Longquan, is known for making the best swords in the world. Located within the border of South Zhejiang, China and under the Fengyang Mountain, Longquan is rich in resources that are suitable for crafting swords.

During the period of Warring States (770-476 B.C.), a famous sword maker named Ou Yezi created the most renowned sword in Longquan. Since then, the secret arts of crafting swords have been passed down from generation to generation.

Dao is a category of single-edge Chinese swords primarily used for slashing and chopping (sabers), often called broadswords in English because some varieties have wide blades. Dao is actually a generic word used to denote any member of a family of single-edged, broad-bladed cutting or slicing tools, but in common, everyday usage means knife. The weapon is thereby thought to be an adaptation of the kitchen knives common to Chinese cuisine. This beautiful piece is a must have for any collector! Its magnificent black hardwood saya (the scabbard) and a matching wooden handguard piece featuring a handcrafted Japanese character " Sword " logo are intricately designed as individual works of art. The tang has a fitting also embroidered with " Sword " character in Japanese. Sharpened 440 stainless steel blade a straight edge design and the hamon along the blade.
