Praying Mantis Katana
Praying Mantis Katana Ref: CI-SH2359
The Praying Mantis is a symbol of cunning and power in Japanese culture and is consequently a highly respected theme in Samurai swords. Built on our new L6/Bainite blade (detailed below) in the Shobu Zukuri style with Bohi, and featuring superb koshirae, the Praying Mantis is a very desirable and functional piece. The subdued green silk ito and deep brown of the lacquered saya provide handsome contrast to the dark copper and golden accents of the tsuba, fuchi and kashira. The stalking mantis lies in wait for his next prey, mirroring the power and grace in this exceptional katana.

Blade length: 29” ¤ Handle length: 11” ¤ Overall length: 41”

Weight: 2 lb., 8 oz.

Please note that these katanas are handmade, one at a time, in China. As such, your order may require extended periods for delivery. 4-6 weeks' time is a good starting point; we will contact you with more exact details after you place your order.
