40.5 Inch Japanese Officer Katana Sword With Red Scabbard Review

The Japanese sword or "nihonto" had become a great part of Japan's history and culture

. However as the generations pass, this sword had evolved into an artifact that may be used as decoration at homes or at the museums or even restaurants.

Japanese swords come in various types: Katana, Wakizashi, Tsurugi, Otachi or Nodachi, Naginata and Yari. Wakizashi is the sorter sword while the Tsurugi is doubled-edged sword. The Otachi or Nodachi is the older but longer single- edged sword and Naginata and Yari are pole-mounted swords.

The Katana type is a single- edged blade, long grip and curved sword. This type of sword is commonly used by samurais in the 1400s. Also known as the "samurai sword," Japanese and some Western sword lovers consider Katana sword as the standard size which is normally more than 23.6" (60 cm) in length. The Katana type is famous for its sharpness and cutting ability. It is much preferred because of its aesthetic value and simplicity.

The Japanese Officer Katana Sword with Red Scabbard is a 40.5" sword made up from stainless steel blade, simulated ivory handle and red scabbard that protects the sword. It is an evolution of the Katana sword used during the feudal period or the time of great family, "daimyo." The price ranges from $ 45- 60, relatively less expensive compared to the ones available in the market.

The 40.5" Japanese Officer Katana Sword with Red Scabbard is wonderfully made with an overall elegance with a variation in color which is red. It also comes with a durable mount that protects the sword from rusting.

Nevertheless, though the 40.5" Japanese Officer Katana Sword with Red Scabbard is a replica of the original katana sword, care in handling should be observed at all times to avoid damage to the sword and prevent injury to an individual.

The Katana sword is a tangible manifestation of Japanese's bravery. Nowadays, 40.5" Japanese Officer Katana Sword with Red Scabbard is seen as either antique or modern.
