Zatoichi, the legendary blind swordsman celebrated in both Japanese folklore and Western media, famously wielded a distinctive blade known as the Shikomizue or Chokutō—a straight blade cleverly concealed within a wooden scabbard disguised as a walking stick.
This battle-ready, sharpened & functional replica of Zatoichi's iconic sword features a precision-crafted Chokutō blade forged from genuine T10 high-carbon tool steel, ideal for authentic cutting practice.
The blade undergoes traditional differential hardening using the clay-tempering method historically favored by samurai swordsmiths, producing exceptional edge hardness and a strikingly visible, authentic hamon line.
Both the scabbard and handle are expertly fashioned from high-quality maple wood, finished with deep black lacquer. The ergonomically rounded handle ensures comfort and secure handling, while a removable pin allows easy maintenance and care of this unique blade.
