The Yoriichi Tsugikuni Katana is a fine tribute to samurai culture, a perfect balance between martial tradition and visual poetry.

Blade (刀身): 1060 carbon steel is known for its ideal balance of hardness and flexibility, making it shock-resistant and durable.

Guard (Tsuba 鍔): The carved iron tsuba provides robust protection for the hands and adds a touch of practical elegance. Iron, a historic material in tsuba making, is valued for its solidity and durability, offering added safety during handling exercises.

Scabbard (Saya 鞘): The lightweight lacquered wood of the saya keeps the katana manageable and balanced. The lacquer offers not only a refined look but also a protective layer against the elements, preserving the blade from damage and moisture.

Handle (Tsuka 柄): The gold braiding of the handle is not only captivating, it also gives a firm, comfortable grip. Besides being pleasing to the eye, this braiding absorbs perspiration and stops the hand from slipping, an essential feature for safe use in practice.

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.

Superb katana with a beautiful finish. I had to wait a month and pay 31€ in customs fees, but it is honestly worth it. Recommended!

This is our 2nd purchase in a year and honestly, always excellent work. The katanas are magnificent, the packaging is impeccable. Thank you, keep going; it is a very beautiful artisan trade that you do (it is becoming rare these days) and it still matters in our eyes. Thank you for everything and for the work you devoted to making this very beautiful katana! Thank you!!!
