The journey towards becoming a samurai starts with the Musha collection. Inspired by the musha shugyo, a warrior’s pilgrimage, the Musha collection has all the necessary swords to hone your fighting skills. The musha shugyo allowed the ancient samurai to sharpen their skills through duels and various forms of training and the Musha collection gives modern samurai the same opportunity. The Musha collection uses 1045 high carbon steel to provide uncompromising functionality without compromising cost. This allows us to bring you durable and sharp swords at a reasonable cost range for those just beginning their musha shugyo. During ancient Japan, only the most skilled Kenkaku had the honor to test katana, This is to ensure that skills needed to cut was not a factor when evacuating the katana, it would be completely based on how well the katana was made. The materials used to test generally were criminals and cadavers. Other materials such as goza (the top layer of tatami mats), bamboo, and thin steel sheets were also used. In modern practice of tameshigiri the targets most often used are the goza or tatami “omote†rush mat. To be able to cut consecutive times on one target, or to cut multiple targets while moving, requires a very skilled swordsman.
