This samurai sword and tanto daisho set are high quality, battle-ready recreations of the iconic swords in Ghost of Tsushima and they are expertly forged by Hanbon Forge as a fully functional pair. Not merely collectible props these are swords constructed and designed for real use against tatami and other cutting targets. The set includes a full-size katana and a companion tanto and are crafted with high-carbon steel and assembled with traditional construction techniques. Whether you’re a collector, practitioner, or fan of feudal Japanese aesthetic and performance, this set delivers both authenticity, utility and fidelity to the original game swords. Katana: The 28 1/2″ blade is forged from well-tempered 1095 high carbon steel to provide a sharp, durable edge supported by a resilient spine for shock absorption and resilience under stress. Weighing about 2 lbs 5 oz with a balance point at approximately 5″ from the guard, the katana handles with an agile, controlled feel that is responsive yet solid and echoes the refined balance expected of well-crafted samurai swords. The tsuka is wrapped with roughly 10″ of tightly bound ito cord, ensuring a sure, comfortable grip for precise handling and powerful cuts. Its matching tanto is crafted just the same – only smaller! Both blades feature traditional full-length katana tang construction, with solid-metal fittings on the tsuka and tsuba — far superior in durability and feel compared to the plastic hardware often found on costume-grade swords. The set’s overall design combines practicality and historical aesthetic, offering a functional pair that faithfully evokes the warrior spirit of Ghost of Tsushima-era samurai. Included for both swords is a wooden saya scabbard finished with a gorgeously glossy lacquer finish with metallic blue streaks and smoky silver accents. Each has a knotted sageo cord to complete them. Included with the sword is a display and gift box that fits both swords, as well as a pair of brocade sword bags and a manufacturers Certificate of Authenticity.
