Katana, sword of Japanese samurai warriors (note the ripples drawn by the tempering line or hamon 刃文)

Sharpened katanas, samurai swords

The katana (刀) is a Japanese sword. It is curved and sharpened on one side only, the edge of the blade. Its blade measures over 60 cm (2 shaku; 1 shaku (尺) = 30.303 cm). It is the favorite and symbolic weapon of the samurai, the warrior of medieval Japan.

Unlike its ancestor, the tachi (太刀), its curvature is weaker, adapted to the draw of a standing man, with the cutting edge upwards (conversely, the tachi was used by horsemen, with an appropriate carriage and draw, with the cutting edge downwards).

How do I care for a katana blade?

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.

I received my katana quickly, well made and surprised me for the price. The blade fits well in saya, but I have one complaint: the finish of the rope from the handle to the end was sloppy and lazy, but it's fine.

Blade very good quality however some small part a little rough but very beautiful and great value for money, the reason for four is the shipment that arrived two days later than expected but because of colissimo I think, otherwise super responsive and delighted.
