John Lee Shiro Katana
Shiro means "white" and stands among others for purity and holiness, yet also for grief and death in the Japanese culture. The Samurai would wear white clothing under their armours to symbolize their unbending determination to fight to the last.
- Blade in Shinogi-Zukuri-style with fuller (Bo-Hi), hand-forged out of 1045 high carbon steel.
- Sharpened blade with Hamon line, for a particularly genuine aspect.
- White cotton hilt-wrapping in traditional Hineri-Maki-style.
- Wooden sheath with white high-gloss lacquer finish.
- Long handle-end fastened to the hilt with 2 bamboo pegs (Mekugi). The sword can thus be fully dismantled.
- Made of authentic high-quality materials only, no plastic used.
- Blade collar (Habaki) and washers (Seppa) made of brass.
- The traditional hilt-wrapping is completed by a genuine ray skin lining.
- All ornaments (Tsuba, Fuchi, Menuki, Kashira) made of metal.
