Chisa Katana

Ko-Katanas (or Chisa Katanas) are katanas that has been reduced in blade length for the ease of use in tight quarters. These swords still have a katana length handle and can be used as either single or double handed swords. They are faster to draw and lighter to maneuver. The ko-katana's longer reach over the wakizashi and cutting power gave it advantages in open combat. Overall, the choice between a wakizashi or ko-katana depended on the specific battlefield conditions and personal preferences of the samurai wielding them. This Ko-katana features a hand forged 1045 blade with deep fuller. This high carbon steel is a little softer than the higher end katana but is still suitable for soft targets like tatami and “pool noodles”. Iron Musashi styled tsuba with 9 1/4" tsuka wrapped in black cotton Ito over genuine rayskin panels. Wood scabbard has a black textured finish that will hold up better to marking and fingerprints than smooth lacquer.
