The Nara 楢 Katana is a work of art made for martial arts enthusiasts and discerning collectors.

Blade (刀身): T10 steel with hamon and bo-hi is chosen for its balance of hardness and toughness, giving a robust, well-balanced blade. The hamon, a sign of well-executed hardening, is not only decorative; it also contributes to the flexibility of the blade. The bo-hi reduces the weight of the blade, allowing quicker handling and response, which matters in practice.

Guard (Tsuba 鍔): The gilded pure copper tsuba brings a touch of elegance with its golden shine. It is also highly resistant to corrosion and adds a useful counterweight, contributing to the overall balance of the katana.

Scabbard (Saya 鞘): The ebony wood of the saya is recognised for its density and durability, making this scabbard a robust protection for the blade. The buffalo horn kurigata is not only attractive but also adds strength to the structure of the scabbard, wearing better over time.

Handle (Tsuka 柄): The genuine ray-skin leather on the handle offers a non-slip texture that improves grip, essential for safety and precision. The gilded copper menuki add aesthetic finesse and the bamboo mekugi ensure the structural integrity of the handle, holding the blade firmly in place.

Buying a sword in the UK

Sold only to adults aged 18 and over. Curved swords with a blade of 50 cm or more are hand-forged using traditional methods, as required by the Criminal Justice Act 1988 (Offensive Weapons) Order as amended in 2008.

Carrying a bladed article in a public place without good reason is an offence. Transport your sword wrapped, and only for a legitimate purpose (dojo, re-enactment, collection). Rules may differ in Scotland.

Care

Wipe the blade after every handling with a soft cloth; never touch it with bare fingers.
Apply a thin film of oil every few weeks to prevent rust.
Store it horizontally in its saya, edge up, away from damp.
Use only on suitable practice targets (rolled tatami mats, bamboo); never strike hard objects.
