Sharpened Katana "Fugen jikkō" (不言実行 "speak little, but act"), engraved blade, red mount #Terressens

Katana sharpened "Fugen jikkō" (不言実行 "speak little, but act"), engraved blade, red mount

Sharpened Katana with scabbard (Saya 鞘) black, Tsuka-Ito (柄糸) and Sageo (下緒) dark red, blade engraved (Japanese kanjis), supplied with protective cloth cover, in composite wooden case with varnished wooden stand with protectors and care kit


I served only one samurai master. Forged according to his wishes, I bear his signature, his favorite quote: "speak little, but act". It's true that he put this philosophy of efficiency into practice. Winner of every duel in which he was involved, he remained faithful to his last moments. It was in serenity that the flame of life left his body. His soul now permeates the steel of which I am made.
My weaves are dark red. According to Japanese tradition, red is the color of purification, warding off evil spirits. So I've inherited the dual destiny of efficiency and protection. May I be allowed to find a master of arms capable of pursuing it!

"Samurai: The Warrior's Code", Ito Tommy, Louis Thomas


"Samurai: The Warrior's Code", Ito Tommy, Louis Thomas
The samurai, whose name means "free man", were the most skilful group of elite fighters the world has ever known. Years of training, discipline and self-sacrifice, combined with advanced weaponry and unprecedented tactical acumen, created a force unrivalled in Japanese history.
While exploring the essence, truth and wisdom of the famous samurai warriors, this book describes their weapons, armor and military strategies, and sheds light on their unshakeable philosophy of Bushido: a strict code of honor, demanding absolute loyalty above all else to their master, and ritual suicide as an alternative to surrender or an unworthy death.
This book explores the minds, bodies and thoughts of these sublime paladins, who have long since passed into legend, but whose memory lives on to this day.

Maintenance kit

Maintenance kit for katana (shinken) blade #Terressens

Maintenance of a sword or saber is necessary to prevent oxidation (rust). Old oil must be removed and replaced by a film of new oil. The maintenance kit is composed of several elements:
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.

Figure 1: Cleaning the blade with a microfiber cloth
Figure 2: Tapping the Uchiko on the blade to deposit limestone powder
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.
