Zatoichi Cane Sword 8

This one is from our personal collection, with no issues and in excellent condition. The blade is made with our 2nd Gen 1045 steel, which is very tough, durable, and flexible, similar to 1060 steel. However, the handle shape is different: it’s designed like a katana, whereas the version with a 1050 carbon steel blade has a completely straight handle.

We’ve listed this in our Scratch & Dent section solely due to the handle shape, as it is a cane sword, which may not be to everyone’s taste, even though the piece itself is in excellent condition.
