All the little details...
I am always impressed with Barry's Asian swords. Besides being beautiful and sleek, they exude power and versatility. The edge seems everywhere at the same time while threatening with a dagger point! Left or right-handed, one handed or two handed, this blade can be your best friend or your worst nightmare. You must hold her to understand!
The beautiful and durable quilted Maple handle is polished and shaped to fit perfectly into the hand, making this gorgeous blade a seamless extension of the arm. The rich chocolate brown Maple is then overlaid with Barry's signature Japanese Interlocking Wrap for comfort and extra gripping power.
Sleek and razor sharp, Barry's Asian sword features an elegant blade with Barry's classic Midnight finish. This no-nonsense 15" blade is made from ¼" high carbon 5160 steel and tempered with Barry's custom heat treat. This produces a tough, shock resistant blade with a superior edge holding capability. This heat treat has been painstakingly developed over the lifetime of Barry's long career and is celebrated the world over for producing tough, battle ready blades.
Barry's Asian sword comes in a custom fitted black Kydex sheath, designed to be worn in a variety of ways on vest or backpack by utilizing the belt slot and rigging holes. The overall length is approximately 24 7/8"".
