Product Description

This is the massive hand forged Nodachi sword, or "field sword". The sword was carried by foot soldiers as a counter measure against cavalry attacks. The massive blade would be wielded by two men to cut the legs out from under charging attacks. However, by a skilled and powerful warrior the sword could be used by a single man and had the potential to cut both horse and man apart in a single stroke. During times of peace the sword would be carried by high ranking Samurai as a sign of status. Due to its length the sword would be carried on the Samurai's back. Although, this sword was slow in the correct hands this sword would become unstoppable.

Blade: The blade of the sword has been hand forged from through hardened 1065 carbon steel. An aesthetic hamon has been added to the edge of the blade. The blade features a bohi for better balance and audible feedback when the sword is swung. The Kissake is medium with a well defined Yokote. The sword has a massive tang to match the length of the blade. Saya: The Saya is wooden with a black high gloss finish. The Kojiri and Koiguchi are oxidized copper with a simple, but elegant design. The Kurigata is wooden with a black cotton Sage-o. Tsuba: The Habaki of the sword is one piece brass construction held in place by a copper Seppa. The Tsuba is oxidized copper in the Muromachi cut out style. The Tsuba is secured to the Tsuka with a copper Seppa. Tsuka: The Tsuka is made of two pieces of wood laid over the massive tang. A ray skin Same has been wrapped over the wood, with a black cotton Ito over the Same. Two bamboo Mekugi secure the tang of the sword. Two dragon oxidized dragon Menuki are on each side of the Tsuka. The Kashira is also oxidized copper.
