The thing which made a whetstone powder-shaped is being packed into the Uchiko. White powder appears from the Uchiko when a sword body is struck with the Uchiko. There are two use purposes. The Uchiko removes the old oil which sticks to the sword body. Furthermore, the Uchiko beautifies the surface of the sword. |

Face an edge toward the top, and pull out a sword slowly from the sheath. Then, be careful not to damage a sheath.
Hold the sword pulled out with your left hand. Then, remove old oil and dust from the sword with the Nuguigami. Put a Nuguigami on the Mune of the sword when wiping the sword, and wipe the sword toward the top from the bottom.
Pat a sword body with the Uchiko. Powder equally on the both sides of the sword body. Then, wipe the white powder with the new Nuguigami which is different from the paper used some time ago. Repeat this handle, and remove the blurs of the oil completely.
Apply new oil to the sword body, and put away a sword to the sheath. Put the oiling paper on the Mune of the sword when oiling the sword, and oil the sword toward the top from the bottom. Don't oil a sword in quantity very much. Oil equally the both sides of the sword body.

Ich bin mit dem Schwertpflegeset sehr zufrieden. Das Schwertpfegeset ist für den Anfang sehr gut und mit ihm konnte ich bislang mein Katana schön Pflegen. Zudem ist es nicht teuer und für jeden eine Empfehlung!

Für den Preiß erhält man ein gutes pflegeset nur leider kein Messing hammer vorhanden. Aber ansonsten ein super angebot hat sich gelohnt.

This product is okey overall. The oil is a bit dysfunctionaly bottled but other than that, it is fine. The fact that it does not have a mekugi hammer, makes this maintenance kit an average buy.

Gutes Schwertpflege Set. Schon mit ein paar Tropfen Öl lässt sich das Schwert gut schützen.

Das Schwertpflegeset ist auf jeden Fall sein Geld wert - gerade in der Verbindung mit einem anständigen Rostentferner bekommt man hiermit jedes Problem in den Griff.

Ein super Produkt entfernt sogar aktiv Rost teilweise schon bei Erstbehandlung kleines Manko das Reispapier könnte ein wenig mehr sein. Wer es kauft um große Mengen an Schwert oder Rost zubehandeln sollte sich 1 oder 2 Bögen Reispapier gleich mitbestellen.
