Zatoichi

CAS/Hanwei produced a wonderful reproduction of the walking stick/sword (SH1014) used by the deadly blind swordsman Zatoichi. The blade is carbon steel with a etched temper line for aesthetics. The handle and scabbard are done in sleek black making it look like an ordinary walking stick, but in an instant, the flash of steel.

CAS Hanwei now has four exciting versions of the stick sword of Zatoichi, the legendary blind Samurai. The ever-popular black SH1014, with its fully tempered carbon steel blade is now joined by the SH2298, featuring the same blade but with the red lacquered scabbard seen in many of Zatoichi’s screen adventures. The SH2267 features a fully-forged straight Katana blade, housed in a natural hardwood scabbard and handle combination, while the superbly folded blade of the SH2114 makes a welcome return housed in exquisite rosewood.
