Both John Lee Shiro
Shiro means "white" and represents, among others, purity and holiness, but also sorrow and death in Japanese culture. The Samurai wore white clothes under his armor to symbolize his unyielding determination to fight to the end.
- Shinogi-Zukuri style blade with fuller (Bo-Hi), hand-forged in high-carbon 1045 steel.
- Sharp blade with Hamon line, for a particularly genuine look.

- Wooden sheath finished in high gloss white lacquer.

The traditional cuff wrap is completed by a genuine streaked fur lining.
