Ten Ryu Shirasaya Katana: fully functional and sharp!

We offer you a shirasaya for minor cuts and for practicing kata. In the moderate to severe cut, it is recommended to opt for a katana with a guard (tsuba) and a double Mekugi (peg) Tsuka (handle).

The shirasaya Ten Ryu we offer has a bronze habaki, lacquered finish, is razor sharp and comes with a storage bag.

Shirasaya is traditionally a way to store the blade of the katana during prolonged storage or when transporting over long distances when not in combat.

Today, the Shirasaya has also become a kind of katana in itself.

It is also appreciated for the simplicity of its shape, its purity and lightness.
