Bushido Swords

October 30, 2009

Bushido Swords come to you from Masahiro, which is one of several lines by Master Cutlery. We are proud to offer a little something from each of these brands carried by the Master, but today we will simply focus on the stunning swords featured in the Bushido series.

These swords are stylish and come in several different styles along with a varying price range (from around $90 to $270). They remain in the same realm of quality as much higher priced samurai swords, but are not so hard on the pocket.

Fully functional and made to perfection, these are great for cutting or practicing swordmanship. Every katana in our Bushido series has a differentially tempered high carbon steel blade that is razor sharp and full tang. These blades are hand forged and absolutely beautiful pieces of work! You will not be disappointed when you lay your hands on one of these!

Paper Cranes Daisho

December 6, 2008

Paul Chen is now making its own Tamahagane steel, resulting in one of the most valued achievements of Paul Chen/Hanwei history – the Paper Crane daisho. The Paul Chen Paper Crane daisho are a remarkable mastery of Paul Chen’s sword making arts. The Daisho’s name reflects on origami cranes which decorate the Tsuba plus Fuchi/Kashira. These swords represent the Japanese theater with thespian masks on the Menuki.

A Tatara is built and fired with charcoal, which creates an extremely pure steel from iron sand, also known as “Kera.” It is broken into high (“skin”) and low (“core”) carbon steel pieces. The skin is forged/folded and then wrapped around the core. The result is forged into a blade. The Hada and white particles of the Hamon are formed by careful heat treating and polishing. The result is an astonishing, fully functional blade.

The Paper Crane Katana and Paper Crane Wakizashi are two exciting elements of this fantastic set. Each featuring a hand woven silk Sageo, these swords are truly elegant pieces. The Saya of the Katana features a Kozuka, which is a small knife, whereas the Saya of the Wakizashi houses a Kogai – a hair pick!

Paper Crane Katana Specs:

Overall length: 39 ¼”
Blade length: 28”
Handle length: 10 ¼”
Weight: 2lb 5oz
