Murasaki Katana
The samurai sword “Murasaki” is known in Japan as the “Violet Sword”. This Japanese katana is crafted from 1045 carbon steel, hand-forged, and comes with a hand-decorated saya made of genuine hardwood. The handle is traditionally created with a ray skin look and tightly wrapped in polyester.
The blade is traditionally polished with sand. The high-quality craftsmanship, the violet blade, and the traditional black hardwood saya make this katana a standout piece.
„Nothing is more expensive than what you get for free.“
