This replica sword features a 26-1/2" 440 stainless steel blade with a 9-1/2" handle. 38" long overall. Shirasaya with lacquered finish. Scabbard included.

 

The Shirasaya first came into use when the sword smiths needed a place to temporarily store their sword blades. Newly forged katana swords were often stored in wooden sheath to store until they could be fitted.  After sword carrying was banned in Japan, some Samurais uses Shirasaya style katana to conceal their swords. Nowadays, the Shirasaya is presented as a different style of Samurai sword.
