Shinken out of Kendo24´s akizu-line are made of highquality 1095 carbonsteel. Forging and polishing are made by hand!
The hilt is fixed with two mekugi, the fine tsuba, fuchi kashira and handmade saya are composing a picture of a perfect sword for practise.
Shinken of the akizu-line are quite sharp and are available with and without a bo-hi.
The shinken with bo-hi are especially designed for proffessional iaido-practioners. The shinken are well balanced, high quality steel avoids the breaking of the sword in regular practise! The shinken with bo-hi are not suitable for cutting-tests!
The shinken ´without bo-hi are made for cutting-tests. Please keep in mind to cut only materials, which are suitable for cutting tests. DO NOT CUT WITHOUT PROFFESSIONAL GUIDANCE AND THE NECCESSARY ABILITY OF HANDLING A KATANA!!!
