The katana with snake is a sword traditionally used by the samurai of ancient Japan. It is adorned with a beautiful snake on the tsuba. The katanas with snake were believed to be powerful weapons that could strike down an enemy with a single blow. The legends told that the katanas decorated with snakes were forged from the fangs of a sacred snake. Although these are just legends, this hand-forged katana is no less impressive. This exceptional piece is as sharp as the fangs of a snake and yet is a wonderful decorative sword.
