SZW C01 | Shobu Zukuri Wakizashi “Hisshou” Custom 13”

This is the first in a series of custom projects bringing together some of the finest materials available for a limited run of one of our classic designs. Hand built in North Carolina by our friends at Primitive Woodsman, with Copper Dark Mai steel from Baker Forge, and Copper Camo carbon fiber from FatCarbon materials. Baker Forge is an industry leader in copper Damascus, using a mix of 80CrV2 steel for performance, and copper for a striking look, they produce steels that are both beautiful and functional. The Copper Camo CF from Fat Carbon materials is one of their strongest carbon fiber offerings, and it pairs perfectly with the subtle copper line in the blade. The Hisshou (必勝) kanji is a custom work from Shodō artist Koshin. The kanji is in the Gyosho cursive style. 

This limited custom run will be available for pre-order until June 24th.
