This katana stands out for its modern look and careful finish, making it ideal for collectors and lovers of sophisticated decorative objects.

Blade: The manganese steel blade, tinted a deep blue, combines elegance with contemporary design. The 72 cm (28.3 in) length and 0.7 cm (0.3 in) thickness give it a strong visual presence.

Tsuba: The iron guard has a robust aesthetic, perfectly balancing the handle and the blade. Its shape and motifs are simple but elegant, adding a touch of finesse to the overall design.

Saya: The blue lacquered wooden scabbard is enhanced by a matching sageo, completed by a katate-maki wrap that gives a detailed and attractive finish.

Tsuka: The handle reproduces the look of rayskin, offering a distinctive texture and a colour contrast with the blade. Together with an iron menuki set and two bamboo mekugi, the handle is both attractive and functional.

With a total length of 103 cm (40.6 in) and a weight of 1.4 kg with the saya, this katana is as impressive to display as it is to hold. It is an exceptional piece that will draw attention in any room where it is shown.

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.

Christophe C.

Magnificent sword. Superb finish and very well executed engraving. Watch out for the part of the saya near the tsuba, no paint, you can see the wood and stains
