Updated for the 21st century - the Hoshu Boshin Katana represents a seamless fusion between high technology and ancient, time tested personal weaponry in the form of the classic Shinogi Zukuri Katana (with a few modern tweaks).

The long 30-3/8" blade is made from expertly tempered, mirror polished 1060 carbon steel and is perfectly fitted into the low maintenance stainless steel hand guard that flows into a dismountable, ergonomic TPR (Thermal Plastic Rubber) handle for the perfect grip. Add to this a surprisingly good wood core, painted matt finished scabbard and while it may not appeal to those seeking a historically accurate sword (though, being dismountable, makes an EXCELLENT base for a custom sword project) it is easily one of the best made, most affordable tactical style blades on the market.

Here is the official blurb from the manufacturer:

The Honshu Boshin Katana fuses tradition and innovation to yield a masterwork of modern sword design. True to the legendary katana’s roots, the Boshin boasts a 30 3/8” 1060 high carbon steel blade that’s unrivaled in sharpness and strength. But this is no ordinary Katana. Trading traditional trappings for chic contemporary style, the cutting edge Boshin is an undeniably modern weapon. Textured TPR shrouds the handle for an ergonomic no-slip grip you can’t get from conventional ray skin and cord. The handle is crowned with an oversized polished steel pommel, and the guard snubs fanciful ornamentation in favor of a practical pointed ellipse design. In keeping with the Boshin’s clean, functional motif, the sleek wooden sheath is largely unembellished, save the genuine leather cord. Even among more expensive swords, the remarkably affordable Honshu Boshin Katana shines brighter than the rest. Wielding it is almost Zen-like – you just have to experience it for yourself!

Whichever way you look at it, for the price this is a high quality, robust blade in modern tactical style fittings with a high intimidation factor - zombies beware! MSRP $221 - our price, just $126.99 with FREE SHIPPING (USA only).
