Blade (刀身): Forged in Damascus steel, the blade offers a perfect balance of flexibility and hardness thanks to the many layers of steel welded together. This also creates distinctive wavy patterns, making each blade unique. Its resilience is matched by an aesthetic that is sure to impress.

Guard (Tsuba 鍔): The carved pure copper and gilded brass guard is not only a decorative element. The metal chosen offers strength and durability that protect the user's hands. The intricate design also reflects the richness of the samurai tradition.

Scabbard (Saya 鞘): The lacquered magnolia wood of the saya provides sturdy protection for the blade while being light, which makes it easier to carry. Its lacquered finish adds a touch of elegance and protects the wood from moisture and damage.

Handle (Tsuka 柄): The ray-skin leather gives a firm and comfortable grip, essential for precise handling of the katana. Its unique texture and durability make it a favoured choice for high-quality swords.

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.

Very beautiful katana, which far exceeds my expectations. An impressive edge and a superb finish. I'm already looking forward to ordering another one. Thank you to the whole team who give us access to this type of product.
