Paul Chen Zatoichi Stick Sword Knife

Paul Chen Zatoichi Stick Sword Knife. The Zatoichi therefore represents a combination of the technical and historical aspects of these two swords resulting in a Samurai sword that is said to have great magical and fighting power. While both swords do have some similarities in their construction their differences lie in the details of their fittings and their styling. The blades of both these Samurai swords are designed to flex when held allowing the hands to sink into the padded Tsuka while also providing some lateral support to the hand to stabilize the swinging sword. A finely crafted katana will be well matched to the Zatoichi's hand-forged blade with fittings that add to the sword's authenticity. The dual-sided tang is also replicated to provide some structural strength. The finely woven traditional Tsuka of the Samurai Swords forms the basis of the tsuka with a long o-tsuka of black cord wrapping the full-tang guard. This detail provides not only an aesthetic appeal but also allows the Zatoichi (the "Sword of the Vanguard") to be safely tucked into the sheath for use as a thrusting weapon.
