Kujaku (孔雀), decorative katana

Collection Katana Tsuka-Ito (柄糸) and Sageo (下緒) red, Saya (鞘 scabbard) white with silkscreen depicting Kujaku (孔雀 peacock), variety of Koi carp (鯉 Asian carp)


I symbolize luck, beauty and fidelity. That's why my scabbard (鞘 Saya) is decorated with multiple Kujaku (孔雀), the variety of Koi carp (鯉 Asian carp) that Japanese tradition considers a good luck charm. Its metallic sheen gives it a proud appearance.
I bear the same name as the only girl member of the Shitenshônin (四天象人 The Four Human Celestial Phenomena) in the Naruto manga (ナルト). But my true vocation today is to - you - bring good luck.

I've just received the long-awaited katana for my daughter, who has just passed her exam. She's been wanting one for so long.
My research led me to Terressens.
This katana caught my eye, and at a very attractive price.
First of all the handling of my order was very very fast, ordered in the evening, the next morning the seller had already taken into account my request for engraving and had already made me a great offer: by the afternoon, the katana had already been engraved, and very nicely too, I had the proof in the form of a photo even before the shipment, which took place immediately.
I received it 3 days later, 5 days after my order.
Really great follow-up and good advice.
That said, when I received it, I found the engraving superb, but I'd like to make a comment about the katana. The printing or gluing of the carp is grainy, there's a lack of varnish in one place and the bronze-colored ring isn't perfect, there are still some big burrs. I had to file it down, and it showed big white marks. I sponged it down with a slightly damp sponge, which is better but not perfect.
So if you want a decorative katana to please a small budget it remains a very good gift idea, they are good advice, tracking is top notch and delivery is very fast.
But note that there are imperfections.
I'm still happy with my order, I'll manage to remove the flaws because I'm good at it and it will be almost perfect.
Thank you for your attentiveness and responsiveness.

I am delighted with the service that accompanied my order.
As a total layman, I was guided and advised throughout the ordering and manufacturing process(personalized engraving), which was very reassuring.
Shipping times were respected and the product arrived well packaged and in perfect condition.
