Immediately After Receiving Your New Sword

Swords will probably come to you with a light oil or a heavy coat of grease and wax  to protect the blades during transcontinental transport. To remove the grease or wax you may use a solvent such as lacquer thinner or mineral spirits.

Once you have finished this, apply your light coat of oil or a silicone spray. You can also wipe it with a silicone coated gun/reel cloth. In many respects, the gun/reel cloth is preferred as there is less tendency for dust to accumulate and trap oxygen to cause pitted areas in the blade. 

Blade lengths are approximately 29" long. These blades are made of HRC1045 high carbon steel in the popular Shinogi Zukuri style. The famous Kill Bill Emblems are ENGRAVED on blade. The Tsuka (handle) is made with genuine Ray Skin and is wrapped in black leather (PVC) braid measures 11” long. There are two gold sycamore ornaments attached on either side of the Fuchi (collar) and the Kashira (buttcap at the end of handle). These buke-zukuri style katana swords have a black Tsuba (guard) that is the same style as in the movie. The Saya's (scabbards) are made of wood with black lacquer finishes. They measure 31” long. The body of the scabbards bear the identical three-leaf sycamore emblem as seen in the movie. The Kurikata's (knobs) are wrapped with cords which are used to suspend the katana sword by your waist.
Please note that the Sageo's (cord's) will vary in color, from tan, black, and silver. We cannot accommodate requests on the sageo color. Thank you.
