Sugoi-Steel-Reverse-Blade-Shikomizue-Koshirae-Forged-1060-Damascus-Steel-Bamboo-Katana-Sword

1060 Damascus high carbon steel has been folded through forging, heating, hammering, cooling, heating again, etc. What better way to make a classic Samurai katana that is both functional and beautiful? You can see the folds in the steel, creating layers upon layers of carbon-nanotube infused steel cutting power.

Right before the Meiji Era was the Bakumatsu, ending the Edo period and Shogunate. A key player in the Bakumatsu was the Battosai, who was known as the single strongest warrior of the time and had killed so many men he made a vow to never kill again. As legend has it, the Battosai lived up to his word and also carried a reverse blade sword which was sharpened on the opposite side. This reverse blade sword was a perfect tool for the Battosai, allowing him to continue the path of Bushido, yet never kill again.
