The original flagship of Cheness Cutleries range of super heavy duty 9260 Spring Steel Katana, this classic looking sword with a thick brass "Musashi" double 'C' ring tsuba is a very tough, practical and solidly built piece designed specifically for rigorous and frequent dojo cutting applications.
Available with or without bo-hi (fuller/"blood groove") - the solid bodied blade has a more forward balance (6" from the tsuba) for authority in the cut (as well as a slight claying and secondary heat treatment to increase the edge retention of the edge), while the bo-hi version is 4oz lighter, which when combined with the 5" balance point makes it much faster in the hand.
Whichever version you choose, this incredibly popular sword is one of the strongest traditional blade geometry Katana on the market. Highly recommended (full 5 out of 5 star rating on SBG,
