Mountain Spider Katana; a long and powerful samurai sword
The Yama no Kumo (Mountain Spider) Samurai Sword is a long (>29") bladed sword that is extremely well made and shaped in traditional style. This sword features a classic spider themed fuchi and kashira with bamboo leaf menuki.
The blade is differentially hardened T10, hand polished in the traditional manner to a full "art" polish. Details in the hamon are exquisite and must be seen in person to truly appreciate. The blade is a well balanced cutter, with healthy niku (appleseed edge geometry).
