Paul Chen Bamboo Katana Stick

Blade Length: 27 3/4“ Handle Length: 11 1/2� Overall Length: 39 1/4" Weight: 1lb 3oz

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 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. This is a sharpened battle ready sword.
