Senshi, sharpened katana, dark red saya with throats (戦士 soldier, warrior)

Sharpened Katana with scabbard (Saya 鞘) dark red and throats, black Tsuka-Ito (柄糸) and Sageo (下緒)


The soldier I served for several decades defeated many duels, all those in which he was engaged. To each of them is attributed an indented mark on my scabbard (Saya 鞘), 38 in all, the first 20 of which are closer together. The duels I took part in all had one thing in common: my master defended the interests of the weakest. For his martial skills were used solely for the sake of his belief in the need to rebalance forces. He was so discreet that his name has been lost. I am the only witness to his actions. Today, I'm looking for a master-at-arms capable of following this ethical path, not just with a one-off oath, but with a real commitment and actions that are in keeping with the situation.

The reading corner

"Japanese Sabres of Exception", Yoshihara Yoshindo, Leon Kapp, Hiroko Kapp


We are particularly proud to present this work by the great Japanese arts master Yoshindo Yoshihara, elevated to the rank of "Living Legend of Japanese Traditions" by the Tokyo government, well known to fans of Japanese arts and traditional swords, and chosen for the traditional sword-making session in the film "Kill Bill 2".
This wonderfully illustrated large-format book deals in detail with the complex process of Japanese swordmaking - forging, tempering, polishing... - and is sure to lay the foundations for a deeper, more comprehensive understanding of the art of Japanese swordsmanship.

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.
