Bamboo Tanto

Bugei reaches into history to design blades to be used by the student of traditional Japanese Sword Arts. The Bamboo Tanto was Bugei's first production sword. And all these years later the updated Bamboo Tanto with its elegant black fittings and gold bamboo highlights continues to be one of our most popular swords.

Bamboo is a popular theme for Japanese sword mounts as it represents both strength and flexibility, qualities highly prized by the Samurai.

The tsuba (sword guard) is made from a plate of soft copper that is given a hard gloss black coating and then gold highlights are applied to the intricate bamboo. The tsuka (handle) is wrapped in black silk ito to complement the gloss black saya and glossy black fittings.
