There is a really organic look to this handmade Gold Samurai Katana; it offers an unknowing elegance. Surely this is a weapon a great samurai such s Toyotomi Hideyoshi would have carried, a man born to a poor peasant family who became a great daimyo warrior. This 42-inch katana features a hand-forged blade made from high quality stainless steel. The black handle is wrapped for comfort and control while a bit of brass adds interest. A matching gold lacquered scabbard has been included. This is a katana that doesn’t boast a lot of bold, flashy colors and furnishings, but the craftsmanship certainly shows in every inch.
