Rating: 100 (142 reviews)

Shikomitsue (仕込み杖 training rod); sharpened straight blade, 1045 steel, mounted as a sword rod, replica of the film and TV series; supplied in a wooden case and protective cover

Straight and finely honed, my blade is mounted discreetly, like a sword cane. My red clothing is reminiscent of the blood I drink. My master swordsman's Yakuza (ヤクザ) past is a regular reminder. Yet he has long since made the choice to protect the innocent.
A member of the Blind Guild, he's one of the world's best swordsmen. His other heightened senses give him exceptional awareness of the space in which he moves with suppleness, ease and dexterity.
I'm just like my master Zatoïchi (座頭市 Zatōichi). My sober appearance brings down the attention of those who underestimate me. Make no mistake. I'm never in a mood to be taken for a ride!

Zatōichi (2003)

Japan, XIXᵗʰ century. Zatōichi (座頭市) is a blind traveler earning his living as a professional gambler and masseur. But behind his humble exterior, he's a fearsome fighter, lightning fast and whose blows prove stunningly accurate. As he crosses a mountain, he discovers a small town entirely under the control of a gang. Its leader, Ginzo, gets rid of anyone who dares to stand in his way, all the more effectively because he has hired a fearsome ronin, Hattori. In a gambling joint, Zatōichi meets two geishas, as dangerous as they are beautiful. Okinu and her sister Osei go from town to town in search of their parents' murderer. Their only clue is a mysterious name: Kuchinawa. When Zatōichi meets Ginzo's henchmen, a confrontation is inevitable...

Protective oil, micro-fiber, chalk ball (Uchiko), pin remover (Mekugi Nuki) and pins (Mekugi), delivered in a wooden box | I have the privilege of maintaining the katanas of the best samurai. I maintain the blade to protect it from oxidation. Unalloyed steel (without additives such as chromium and molybdenum) is prone to rust. An alloy of iron and carbon, steel is weakened by the presence of oxygen. Air can therefore attack it, which is why my oil helps protect the surface of this noble metal.
