- In 1876, the Samurai were banned from carrying their swords.
- This attempt to end a thousand year tradition was not received well by the proud warrior class and the "stick katana" was born.
- Innocuous walking canes now concealed the revered blades, but the katana lived on.
- The Bamboo Stick Katana (SH1002) combines an artfully curved bamboo scabbard and handle with a blade (nagasa) that is constructed of hand-forged 1065 high-carbon steel and is differentially tempered using a traditional claying method.
- The edge hardness and resilient blade body produced by this technique embody the true secret of the Samurai sword.
- Hand forged and tempered blade.
- Hand carved bamboo handle and sheath.
- Genuine temper line.
