Musashi Silver Series Katana: A Quick Overview

A quick look at some examples from the Musashi Swords "Silver" series: 1060 clay tempered (55RC) blades, real ray skin Same under cotton Ito wrap, cheap cast fixtures. Shown are a currently available "Musashi" and a Unokubi Zukiri version, compared to an older out-of-manufacture Kogarasu Maru (that still has the Musashi logo emblazoned on the Habaki instead of more subtly on the Seppa).

The current generation are good, inexpensive "working" swords: pretty well-balanced and the grip profiles are comfortable. Nothing fancy. Kind of like buying a decent basic hammer for use around the house. For $150-200 (as low as $105 on some sites) you get a lot of sword for the money. Just fine for beginners and abusive cutting stunts, or just a workhorse practice blade.

The first sword is the one I was eyeing so its good to see a good review

Good video. Not a lot on these cheaper swords, but they seem to be real swords from a performance standpoint, and fantastic value compared to any alternative.

I have to say, your katana reviews are my absolute favorite on YouTube. Straightforward, no-nonsense, and full of useful information! I recently found and purchase the Musashi Unokubi Zukuri model myself, but found that the tsuka was terribly split when I disassembled it. It seems like the tang was simply too big, forcing the tsuka to split along the seam (and it’s still extremely tight even with the split leaving a large gap in the tsuka). Are both of the silver series handles on your Musashis like this as well?

Saw these on Amazon for 125 just looking for a show peice but are they capable of light cutting? Could go with the gold series for a little extra. Thx, good video
