Sugoi Steel Shōgun Senshi 戦士 1060 Handforged Carbon Steel Functional Katana Samurai Shogun Tamashigiri Sword
ShÅgun Senshi 戦士 is a sword reminiscent of the classical period of Japan, and perhaps of Edo as well. While this version is packaged with an introductory sharpness for safety, it can be finely and easily sharpened with an average whetstone until the edge is like a razor. Because of the lack of ridge, all cuts are smooth and light, requiring little effort. The blade features a Bohi, which is a groove running the length of the blade.
The ShÅgun Senshi katana is ideal for high rates of speed, cutting quickly and with precision. It differs (via Yokote & Bohi) from standard katana blade design because it does not require large amounts of strength and brute force to make a clean cut.
