Sharpened katana Kuro to Shiro (黒と白 black and white)

Sharp Katana with scabbard (saya 鞘) in black and white lacquered wood, black ito and sageo, delivered in a composite wood box with varnished wood stand with protections, fabric protective cover and maintenance kit


White for day, black for night...
I combine seemingly opposites with ease. Flexibility, aesthetics, the ability to make a clean cut are all part of my capabilities. My two-tone frame is a reminder of this even as I remain discreet in my scabbard (Saya 鞘).
I can't wait for a new chosen one to show himself or herself capable of mastering my natural ardor. Will you be the one to bring me back to life?

"Le katana 2 ou le sabre de combat du samouraï", Gilles Bongrain


"Le katana 2 ou le sabre de combat du samouraï", Gilles Bongrain
In this 56-page book, Laurence Hélix invites the reader to discover or rediscover the history of the Knights Templar, for whom, at last, the katana has developed not only a reputation for efficiency, but also a mystical aura. An object of art, high-tech or even a quasi-religious symbol, the katana is also one of history's most formidable fighting instruments, not only in terms of its design and qualities, but also in terms of the highly evolved fencing that has been associated with it for many centuries. My first book devoted to the katana, published in 2003, aimed to present this Japanese sword from a historical, technological and artistic point of view.

Maintenance kit

Maintenance kit for katana (shinken) blade #Terressens

Maintenance of a sword or saber is necessary to prevent oxidation (rust). Used oil must be removed and replaced entirely with a film of new oil. The maintenance kit (御刀手入具) consists of several items&nsbp;:
Microfiber cloth: for cleaning, spreading oil and polishing the blade.
Uchiko: a ball of finely ground chalk (chalk powder) wrapped in a ball of cloth. Intended for cleaning the blade's surface, the powder passes through the wrapping when tapped, allowing it to be sprinkled over the blade's steel.
Oil: applied as a thin film, it protects against oxidation.
Mukugi(x 2): pins (bamboo dowels 目釘) that hold the blade and handle (tsuka 柄) together.
Pin driver (Mekugi Nuki): Small brass hammer with a screwed-in pin for removing mekugi.
Maintenance does not require disassembly, but if you need to remove the handle (tsuka 柄), replace the pins.

Handle with care to avoid injury.
1/ Use the microfiber cloth to remove oil from the blade. From the guard (Tsuba 鍔) to the tip (Kissaki 切先), slide the cleaning cloth over the back of the blade (Mune 棟), folding it in half to wrap both sides of the blade.
Lightly squeeze the cloth between thumb and forefinger to surround the blade from above (first illustration).
2/ Once the old oil has been removed, use the uchiko to lightly tap along the blade (second illustration).
3/ Use the cloth to lightly polish the blade and remove the powder, in the same direction as the first step (first illustration).
4/ Apply the oil along each side of the blade with the sprayer (or a very soft brush). The oil should be spread thinly and evenly, without excess (first illustration).
Be sure not to touch the blade before replacing it in its sheath (saya 鞘).
Clean the microfiber cloth with soapy water.

Legislation

Since September 6, 2013, new legal provisions stemming from the March 6, 2012 law have come into force. These new rules have strengthened criminal penalties against weapons offenders and introduced a new classification.
Katanas, swords, daggers and knives are now classified in category D. The purchase and possession of these weapons are unrestricted. In principle, they may not be carried or transported without legitimate reason. If transported, the weapon must not be "directly" usable. It must be securely packed in a case or container, preferably with a padlock or other protective system.
