Bamboo Stick Sword: A handsome bamboo sheath and handle that house a 440 stainless steel katana blade. A great item for display. 41-1/2" long overall. Scabbard included.

Background of the bamboo stick sword:
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. Simple looking walking canes now concealed the sharp sword blade. The edge hardness and resilient blade body produced on this blade embody the true secret of the Samurai sword.
