The Kamon 家紋 Katana is a remarkable example of Japanese craftsmanship, combining traditional aesthetics with careful attention to detail for the modern collector.
Blade (刀身): Made of flexible steel, the blade is designed for flexibility and resilience. The two bo-hi (blade grooves) are not merely an aesthetic feature; they lighten the blade, improve its balance and produce a distinct sound on a swift cut, which helps the user correct their technique.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔): Copper, the material of the tsuba, is known for its malleability, allowing extremely fine sculpted detail. It develops a natural patina over time, which adds to the character of the sword. The finely worked details of the tsuba offer robust protection and an aesthetic that pays tribute to the samurai tradition.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘): The lacquered wooden saya bears a dragon motif, symbolising power and wisdom. The wood, chosen for its strength, is lacquered to protect against the elements, and the cotton sageo allows secure carrying and attractive presentation.
Handle (Tsuka 柄): Covered in genuine white rayskin, the tsuka offers a secure and comfortable grip. Rayskin is valued for its durability and unique texture, which prevents slipping. The copper menuki add to the look and also act as studs for a better hold.
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.

Reviews left by customers of our previous French store, translated from French.
Laurent A.
The sword and its accessories arrived in a parcel that protected the contents very well. The sword matches exactly what I ordered. It is magnificent. Bravo and thank you! Only point of slight disappointment: I imagined it would be sharper.
Didier P.
The Kamon model with its double Bo-Hi is a must for practice & for embellishing any collection!
Delphine B.
I chose this magnificent katakana for my husband's 50th birthday. He is delighted with it! It's a katakana of great quality, you can feel the know-how and the authenticity. A real work of art!
Pabloo M.
I'm a complete amateur with these swords. but I learned what IAIDO is and I keep practising as much as I can. The katana, a very nice discovery and I'm not done yet.
Andreas M.

Francoise P.

Marie G.
Katana of very good quality, impeccable finishing, careful details!
Nathalie P.
Very satisfied with my order, it was a gift. Very well made, carefully done, just shipping was a bit long; I didn't know the exact lead times, and allow for customs taxes, which are low but good to know. Otherwise a perfect model.
Vincent C.
Superb katana, but delivery is IMPOSSIBLE to the overseas departments and territories (DOM-TOM).
