Item Specs

Kenshin was one of the great generals of the period of warring state. He is best known as the arch enemy of Takeda Shingen and the two battled each other on at least five different occasions. Kenshin was truly a self made man, coming from a modest beginning and eventually gaining the favor of the shogun and becoming the ruler of the Etchu Province. Kenshin was a brilliant military leader and political player. He died at the age of 48 from health problems.

Note: Sword Stand and sword bag are not included.

Features

Blade: The blade of the sword has been hand made with High Carbon Steel. The Carbon has been hammered out through the blade so that it has a universal hardness throughout the entire blade. A Bo-Hi has been added to the top of the blade to even out the weight and give audible feedback. The sword comes full tang with an O-Kissake.
Saya: The scabbard of the sword is wooden with dull black gloss finish and glossy highlights. The black cotton sage-o is tied around a copper Kurigata.
Tsuba: The Tsuba is blackened steel with golden Kanji etched into the steel. On the reverse side of the Tsuba is Uesugi Kenshin on horse back swinging his sword. The Habaki of the sword is a one piece brass construction. Two blackened Seppas secure the blade in the Tsuka.
Tsuka: The Tsuka is wooden with a ray skin Same. A black cotton Ito has been wrapped over the ray skin Same. Oxidized Menuki are on each side of the Tsuka rendered as dragons. Two bamboo Mekugi secure the tang into the Tsuka. The Kashira is a relief of waves in blackened steel.
