Snake Katana
The Japanese samurai sword “Sunēkusōdo”, known as the “Snake Sword” in Japan, is crafted from T10 steel and comes with a blue and white galvanized blade and shimmering blue saya made of genuine hardwood. The handle is traditionally styled in ray skin appearance and tightly wrapped with polyester. The blade is hand-polished with sand.
The superior craftsmanship and the striking lightning-patterned blade make this samurai sword a true eye-catcher.
Think hard and make a decision within seven breaths. (old samurai wisdom)
