The service will not provide a completely bevel-less edge. In other words, we intend to provide you with a serviceable weapon, not a personal grooming implement. Our goal is to provide you with a usable edge for cutting practice that will hold up to some use and not require constant re-sharpening. The resulting edge will be “sword sharp” not razor sharp.

The highly detailed and finely cast tsuba, fuchi and kashira hilt components are crafted from metal with a silvered finish. The Musha Imperial Silver Dragon Katana has a blade of sharp and tempered 1045 high carbon steel with a weight-reducing bohi groove to ensure that the sword is swift and agile by removing some weight from the blade without sacrificing durability.
