The Bamboo Stick Katana a Testimony to the Samurai Warrior
The Samurai warriors have a 1000 year long history and when they were supposed to give up their traditions in the late 1800s they didn’t take it without a fight. When carrying a sword was banned, they designed the bamboo stick katana. From the outside this sword looks like a regular bamboo stick, but the outer bamboo actually only conceals the katana. Both the carved scabbard and handle are made of the same bamboo material and blend in together beautifully.
Not only is this katana a replica of the originals carried by the Samurai, but it is also very well made. The blade is 27 inches long and hand forged. It is made of 1065 high carbon steel and hardened using the traditional claying methods which gives it strength and hardness that is hard to surpass. Even though it is of high quality, the katana weighs less than three pounds. This lets the person using it move fast and retain their flexibility.
The bamboo stick katana is a must for everyone that loves Samurai swords or wants to follow those traditions or practices advanced martial arts. Due to the unique nature and history of this weapon it is also a great collector’s item or display piece.
