This katana is a finely crafted piece that respects the traditions of Japanese swordsmiths. The blade is forged in Damascus steel, famous for its distinct swirl or wave patterns, which result from layers of steel folded and welded together. This method gives the blade not only a distinctive beauty but also superior strength and elasticity.

The guard (tsuba) is in premium copper, finely sculpted, indicating a high level of detail and personalisation. The scabbard (saya) wears the traditional red lacquer, decorated with the symbol of the Toyotomi clan, a distinctive and historic emblem. The tachi-style mounting with fittings such as the Obitori kanagu, kashiwaba and kogiri emphasises authenticity and respect for historical forms.

The handle (tsuka) is wrapped in genuine rayskin, known for its durability and firm grip. The tsuka-ito, the cord that wraps the handle, continues onto the scabbard, a detail that shows particular attention to design continuity.

The two bamboo mekugi, the pegs that secure the blade to the handle, allow disassembly and reassembly for maintenance or inspection. This katana weighs 1.4 kg with its scabbard, making it relatively balanced for practice or demonstration.

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.

Baptiste D.

Very beautiful katana of good quality. Customs fees to be expected on top. the 14 euros of customs fees remain relatively reasonable but it deserves to be more explicit at ordering. Otherwise nothing to report. Very good
