Our Miyamoto Musashi Katana BoHi is part of the Ronin class and is forged from 1060 steel. The blade has been polished sharply and has a BoHi on it. The blade hardness is 55 HRC and was tested and confirmed in a laboratory in Germany. The ito wrapping is made of black silk and was applied to the real ray skin on the handle. The Tsuba displays a double ring design which is always associated with Miyamoto Musashi. The handle and blade are bound by 2 Mekugi for solid fit of the handle on the tang. For the fittings we choose simple black iron mountings for the Kashira and Fuchi without any adornment. Just as Musashi dedicated most of his life solely to combat, so the fittings of this Katana should not distract from that which is fundamental. This sword is a reasonably priced basic model intended only for cutting. Now some may say that this design is much too plain. We would like to answer that with a quote for Miyamoto Musashi himself, “Accept everything just the way it is.” Details: Blade length: 74.2 cm Handle length: 28.2 cm Weight with Saya: 1110 g Weight without Saya: 980 g Hardness: 55 HRC

Sparring Jian Sword

Traditionally Chinese Martial Artists have used wooden "wasters" during sparring practice to inform their training and perfect their technique. While these wasters are generally safe, they have serious limitations for learning how swords actually behave during sparring. Hanwei's Sparring Jian have been designed by Scott Rodell to handle as closely as possible to sharp jian while providing rounded edges and safe flex during a thrust. Using the same blade steel, advanced heat treatment regimen and handle fittings as the Rodell designed Hanwei Cutting Jian students can practice forms, sparring and cutting all with the same design. Through these three disciplines the student can take a holistic approach to their jianfa training; what works in forms must work in sparring must work in cutting must work in forms, etc... Scott M. Rodell`s martial arts career includes over 30 years of training in Yang Style Taijiquan. He has trained under several noted Chinese masters, in both the U.S. and China. He is the founding Director of the Great River Taoist Center, headquartered in Virginia with branches across the U.S., Russia, Estonia, Netherlands, Germany and Australia.

Bamboo Katana

In 1876, the Samurai were banned from carrying their swords. This attempt to end a thousand year tradition was not received well by the proud warrior class and the "stick katana" was born. Innocuous walking canes now concealed the revered blades, but the katana lived on. The Bamboo Stick Katana combines an artfully curved bamboo scabbard and handle with a blade (nagasa) that is constructed of hand-forged 1065 high-carbon steel and is differentially tempered using a traditional claying method. The edge hardness and resilient blade body produced by this technique embody the true secret of the Samurai sword.

Inmortal Katana

Historically, katana were one of the traditionally made Japanese swords that were used by the samurai of feudal Japan.The first use of "katana" as a word to describe a long sword that was different from a tachi occurs as early as the Kamakura Period (1185–1333).The katana was often paired with a similar smaller companion sword, such as a wakizashi or it could also be worn with the tantō, a smaller, similarly shaped dagger. The pairing of a katana with a smaller sword is called the daishō. Only samurai could wear the daisho: it represented the social power and personal honor of the samurai.The katana is characterized by its distinctive appearance: a curved, slender, single-edged blade with a circular guard and long grip to accommodate two hands. It has historically been associated with the samurai of feudal Japan. • Overall: 108 cm • Width: 8 cm • Weight: 1,4 kg

Taoforge Rin´ne Katana, handgeschmiedet und gefaltet

Dragonfly Katana-Bohi 5160 Steel 71cm/29cm

Our goal was to reduce production cost as much as possible while maintaining the classic good looks of the original mounts. There is no hamon and no hada (folding pattern) in the tough 5160 steel but these swords can cut and take abuse at the same time. So each sword can sit proudly on a sword stand but also be a daily working sword in the dojo.All of our swords are tested extensively before they are put into production. We make sure that our swords perform as good as they look. The Dragonfly held a special significance to the Samurai. Their seemingly tireless movement reflected the Samurai’s desire to give tireless service to his feudal Lord.The dark brown ito is set off by the black same making this a unique offering from Bugei. The lower shinogi and the scant hira-niku make this blade lighter and faster and gives it less resistance in cutting soft targets. The tsuka has the slight “waisting”, ryugo, that is popular with many who study Japanese sword arts. The fittings are beautifully antiqued duplicating the look of old iron. Ted Tenold is responsible for the design and authenticity of these fittings and we think that they are the best that we have offered.

Bamboo Tanto

Bugei reaches into history to design blades to be used by the student of traditional Japanese Sword Arts. The Bamboo Tanto was Bugei's first production sword. And all these years later the updated Bamboo Tanto with its elegant black fittings and gold bamboo highlights continues to be one of our most popular swords. Bamboo is a popular theme for Japanese sword mounts as it represents both strength and flexibility, qualities highly prized by the Samurai. The tsuba (sword guard) is made from a plate of soft copper that is given a hard gloss black coating and then gold highlights are applied to the intricate bamboo. The tsuka (handle) is wrapped in black silk ito to complement the gloss black saya and glossy black fittings. Details: Blade length: 22.5 cm Handle length: 11.2 cm Overall length: 38 cm Steel: Swedish Powdered Steel Folded Steel: no Weight: 0,3 kg

Peace Katana, Blade Length 71.12 cm

Click on the Video below to see a full presentation on this sword. The sword shown in the video is a 30" nagasa blade with 14" tsuka. Video is available in high definition if you click through to Youtube. Bugei is pleased to announce the introduction of an all new katana -- The "Peace" Sword.The Peace sword is a robust shinogi zukuri katana with an extended chu kissaki. The blade is moderate in thickness and somewhat wide compared to many designs. However, like the original Tadayoshi school sword the Peace sword is based on, the Peace sword has a shallow bo-hi (full sized groove) and a soe-bi (fine groove) running below the shinogi (ridge line). This allows the sword to remain robust and durable with a good cross-sectional thickness all while helping keep the overall weight of the sword down. The sword moves easily in the hands, is extremely sharp, and is still of a robust design for cutting practice. The hamon is deep with vivid nioi and on close inspection you can see the interaction of the suguha with the underlying finely folded steel. It makes for a more subtle but very elegant look. It also gives the sword a serene appearance. Deadly in appearance, but calm and serene. It appears simple, but the closer you look, the more you see. Which are of course attributes that would appeal to the samurai of old. Calm focus. Peace. Understated elegance.The mokko raised rim tsuba was designed to show the original field with a single bleached skull on the ground. The mokko shape was chosen as many practitioners like the fact that the sword doesn't tend to "roll around" when placing the sword down on the mat when preparing or finishing practice. Tsuba with these sorts of designs were appealing to the samurai. One had to accept the invevitability of death in order to transcend the fear of it.The higo style iron fuchi kashira and kojiri were designed with a background of the same field but with the classical higo design element. No skulls here -- just the ground field and grass on the fuchi with the sky represented in a subtle fashion in classical higo style fittings.Higo style brown silk ito was chosen for the wrap with the typical higo blackened samekawa. The menuki chosen were single gold horses.Finally the black gloss saya (scabbard) shows the summer grasses starting to grow. They are hand brushed in gold paint and gradually increase in frequency towards the iron kojiri but never overpower the simple black gloss saya. The custom made sageo (cord on the saya) is black and gold with gold grasses woven into the sageo, carrying the theme. The dimensions on the saya are more like antique saya than modern production saya in these ways.As each sword is hand forged there will be slight variation from one sword to the next. However, we measured the sword pictured above to give basic specification of the sword. The thickness of the sword (kasane) at the habaki is 7mm tapering to 5.5mm at the transition to the tip. The "height" of the sword (motohaba) at the habaki is 32mm tapering to 24mm at the yokote (transition to the tip). The extended chu kissaki is 38mm long. And the blade has a gentle roughly 3/4 inch tori sori. Again, please note that each sword will vary slightly as each sword is hand forged and polished. The sword shown in the Youtube video above is one of the 30" nagasa swords with 14" tsuka. The Peace Sword has been a huge success and sold out our initial orders very quickly. Kasane (thickness at habaki): 7mm Sakikasane (thickness at start of point): 5mm Motohaba (edge to back distance at habaki): 32mm Sakihaba (edge to back distance at tip): 23mm Sori: 5/8" (about 16mm) Futasuji-hi Tsuka: 30.48 cm Blade: 71.12 cm Weight: approx. 1.1 kg Steel: Swedish Powdered Steel Folded Steel: yes

Dragonfly Katana - Unokubi Zukuri

Our dragonfly Katana (Unokubi Zukuri) is part of the Ronin class and is forged of 1060 steel. The blade is sharply polished and forged in the style of Unokubi Zukuri, which was derived from Naginata and later transferred to other weapons like the Katana. The blade form makes the blade lighter because less steel was used, which therefore makes the sword the perfect Katana for cutting. The blade hardness is 55 HRC and was tested and confirmed in a laboratory in Germany. The ito wrapping was done in black silk and it was applied to the real ray skin on the handle. The handle and blade are bound by 3 Mekugi for a solid fit of the hilt on the tang. The fittings of the Tsuba, Fuchi, Kashira and Menuki are done in black iron and displays the well-known dragonfly theme. In ancient Japan the dragonfly was revered by the Samurai, because it only flew forwards and never back. The dragonfly is considered a sign of determination and courage, and so mirrors the essence of the Samurai existence.

Black Edition Katana

Now this is our Black Edition Katana and guess what, it’s ALL BLACK.We wanted to come up with an affordable katana for the people who like to do regular cutting. Why is the katana all black you want to know? That’s easy, black is beautiful plus when we were checking the market we saw that there is no such sword on the market which was a good reason to create one. So we used black tsuka ito on black same wrapped using the style katate-maki or also called battle wrap. Then the fuchi, kashira and tsuba are black. When we thought about the menuki design we asked ourselves, if you want to cut with that katana do you need menuki? The answer was no, so there are simply no menuki on that sword.The saya is lacquered in black and it’s glossy, pretty usual, sure. The sageo is black and so are the shitodome on the kurigata. And yes, also the habaki is black too.The hamon pattern is very intense and the blade is really sharp to make sure you will have a great cutting experience. Enjoy!

Shobu Zukuri Tanto

The "Shobu" Tanto is a warriors blade that hearkens back to the 14th century, a strong beautiful blade in the robust, classic Shobu Zukuri style. This Tanto is an exceptional cutting blade as the samurai proved against the Mongol invaders where this style of sword proved more effective against the Mongol armor. This style of robust shobu zukuri evolved from the naginata/nagamaki that were renowned for their strength and cutting power. Shobu Zukuri means iris leaf, which refers to the shape of the beautifully curved kissaki. In our efforts to keep alive the Samurai past we enjoy reproducing historical blades of the samurai. This is a sword of the samurai, from a time when they were the elite warriors of Japan. It is our heaviest, most robust sword. Our Shobu Zukuri is a longer Tanto at near 41 cm long with a 9.5 cm tsuka. The tsuba is a "hamidashi" style tsuba that complements the design of the Shobu Katana. The tsuka is wrapped in black silk ito and the saya is gloss black. Each blade is individually hand forged from Swedish Powdered Steel but is not folded to keep the price more affordable. The sword has a gentle suguha or sometimes a gentle notare hamon both of which we we felt more appropriate given the unfolded steel and the idea of a serious, no-nonsense sword. Swedish Powdered Steel is exceptional for it's purity and even carbon distribution. Starting then with the best steel the smith then hammer forges each sword individually. Careful heat treating produces a sword with a true martensite hamon (rockwell 60-62). The differential hardening leaves the body of the sword softer and more ductile, making it able to withstand shock in the classic Japanese tradition.

Bugei Bamboo Katana 27.5" Blade 13" Handle NS

Bugei reaches into history to design blades to be used by the student of traditional Japanese Sword Arts. The Bamboo Katana was Bugei's first production sword. And all these years later the updated Bamboo Katana with its elegant black fittings and gold bamboo highlights continues to be one of our most popular swords. Bamboo is a popular theme for Japanese sword mounts as it represents both strength and flexibility, qualities highly prized by the Samurai. The tsuba (sword guard) is made from a plate of soft copper that is given a hard gloss black coating and then gold highlights are applied to the intricate bamboo. The tsuka (handle) is wrapped in black silk ito to complement the gloss black saya and glossy black fittings. Originally made of Manchurian Rail steel, the Bamboo Katana is now made with a superior folded Swedish Powdered steel for added beauty and toughness. The Bamboo is a larger sword with moderate niku ("meat to the blade") creating an excellent sword for more difficult traditional targets. As always, our swords not only look like high quality swords, they also have quality of design, fit and finish that is not readily visible, like our 10" nakago with two mekugi to insure that the blade stays secure in the tsuka. The steel of these blades is folded and forged, then clay coated and heated to a red hot state before being quenched in water. This forms a resilient softer steel body (45-48 RC) with an aggressively hard edge (59 RC). This provides exceptional strength and shock resistance with superior edge holding and cutting ability. Careful polishing reveals the hamon and hada showing off the different crystalline structures of the steel. The swords clearly show the martinsite edge, the pearlite body, and nioi crystalline structure that lights up on the true hamon. Both the tsuka and the saya are hand made for each individual sword. This attention to detail means that you, our customer, get the best that we can provide. We also offer a wakizashi and tanto with fully matching furniture should you want to form a matching set (daisho). Included with each sword are a sword bag and quality cleaning kit we import directly from Japan. And as is true of all of our swords.

Old Pine Katana, Blade Length 72.39 cm

The Old Pine Katana was originally released using an unfolded, modern high alloy steel with a high tech heat treatment. However, while the prototypes were quite impressive, once it went in to production we found the factory was unable to deliver sufficient numbers in the quality we required. And then a devastating fire at the Hanwei forge forced Hanwei to re-evaluate whether to continue with the new steel. At that point we suspended sales of the Old Pine Katana until we could get some idea as to what we could expect from the factory.Bugei is pleased to announce that they will now be offering the Old Pine Katana again, but this time in the tried and tested powdered steel used in all of the sword lines for the last decade. This steel has been durable, reliable, and the factory was able to produce swords for us at the quality required in the past. So Bugei is now offering the Old Pine for sale again, except now it will be with the steel as used in all our other swords. Please note that until we get in our first shipment the photographs will show the old steel type. The goal was to make a sword that was without peer in terms of performance but would still have a beautiful and somewhat traditional look. Since the sword is intended to be a strong workhorse that you can rely on day in and day out for years, the sword is mounted in an understated "pine" motif. The pine tree endures year round as it is an evergreen which befits the steel used for this fine and powerful katana that will never let you down. The blackened iron tsuba is a classic design picturing a pine tree and pine needles. The shape was chosen as it allows the swordsman to place the sword on the ground in front of them without worrying about the sword rolling. The fuchi kashira are also blackened iron with pine motifs. The menuki are gold gilded representations of pine cones. The green saya represents the year round green of the evergreen pine and sports understated hand-painted gold needles.The tsuka is wrapped in brown silk ito with blackened samekawa underneath. The sword has two mekugi and all saya parts are made of fine horn. The blade has light niku but is of moderate weight and dimensions with an extended chu kissaki and moderate sori. It is a very sharp blade that is an aggressive cutter that should handle any conventional cutting practice. It handles relatively lightly in the hands but of course balance will vary according to blade and tsuka length as chosen by the customer. The prototype sword shown in the photographs is approximately 30 inches long with a 14" tsuka.This sword is available for order now from Bugei Trading Company. As swords arrive from the factory and pass our stringent quality control orders will be filled on a first come, first served basis.Customers have a choice in sword length (nagasa). We are frequently asked for detailed information on the measurements of our swords. Keep in mind that all of our exclusive swords are hand forged so there is always some variation. During a quality control visit we asked Keith Larman to measure a "typical" Old Pine katana. Here are the measurements for this one sword.

Raptor Shobu Zukuri

The Raptor series, our new line of cutting katanas, has been designed for the cutting practitioner who does not necessarily have access to mats but who wishes to practice and perfect his cutting technique. The blades are forged in 5160 high-carbon steel and specially heat treated to produce very high resilience and greater tolerance of misdirected cuts than a conventional differentially tempered blade. The edge geometry is configured to facilitate the cutting of both soft and semi-hard materials without chipping, allowing the cutter a wide choice of targets. The Raptor Shobu-Zukuri(Iris Leaf) blade has an elegant shape and powerful cutting ability. Notable for the absence of a Yokote transition, this blade design became popular during the Nanbokucho era (1336 ~1392 AD) and its popularity continued into the Muromachi period. Details: Overall length: 45.5" Blade length: 29" Handle length: 13" Weight: 2lb 12oz 5160 high-carbon steel Details will vary slightly from piece to piece.

Peace Wakizashi

The new Peace Wakizashi was designed by Keith Larman of Summerchild Polishing as both a companion piece to the very popular Peace Katana, but also as a stand-alone sword on its own merits.Keith requested that the wakizashi be of the hira zukuri form. Hira zukuri blades are flatter without the ridgeline and defined kissaki (tip) of a more common shinogi zukuri design. Shinogi zukuri is the overwhelming choice in longer blade forms such as katana because it offers a balance between strength and resistance to bends along with proper sharpness. Hira zukuri blades being taller from back to the edge has a sharper edge angle and are, as a result, aggressive cutting blades. Users will often comment that they are as close to a "lightsaber" that you're going to get in the modern world. However, in longer lengths with their thinner cross section they can be more prone to taking a set (a permanent bend) due to the forces involved in actual cutting. As a result, hira zukuri blades are very rare in longer lengths but more commonly seen in tanto and sometimes in wakizashi. Keith has long told us he wanted to do a hira zukuri wakizashi but only as long as it as done in a quality steel with a quality heat treatment. The Peace Wakizashi is that sword.Bugei asked the forge to fold the steel an extra time to get the finer grain that is distinctive of the Peace Katana. Bugei has them do a subtle suguha (flat) hamon on that steel giving them a very subtle but incredibly interesting interaction with the steel when looked at closely. The elegant suguha also follows the profile of the blade itself, lending itself to an understated elegance that is so distinctive of Japanese historical swordcraft. Keith's designed included specifying the larger size of the blade even though it is wakizashi length. The overall nagasa is 20 inches from the machi to the very tip with subtle sori. This length reflects the larger feel of the mounts for today's larger hands.The koshirae (mounts) reflect the Peace Katana but, as is traditional with daisho, there is some intentional variation. Matched sets (daisho) shouldn't necessarily be "photocopies" of each other. The Peace Wakizashi features a hamidashi tsuba (essentially a "low profile" tsuba) design. These were common on shorter swords such as tanto and wakizashi. The fuchi kashira and menuki match the Peace katana and of course, the saya (scabbard) is decorated similarly with blades of golden grass reflecting the original haiku which was the inspiration for the Peace Katana. The tsuka is built for one-handed use as is traditional with blacked samekawa (rayskin) wrapped in real silk tsukaito. Details: 20 inch blade 6 inch tsukaThe tsuka is wrapped in brown silk ito and brown same. Each blade is individually hand forged from Swedish Powdered Steel.

Musashi XL Katana

Miyamoto Musashi, arguably the most famous swordmaster in Japanese history, fought more than 60 duels before retiring and writing his famous treatise on swordplay, the "Book of Five Rings". Development of the two-sword style of swordplay, with the Daito (long sword) and Wakizashi being used together, is credited to Musashi. Mounted in black, the Musashi Katana is faithful to the original down to the famous double-ring iron tsubas. The tsuka-ito is in leather over ray skin. The blade is hand-forged in high-carbon steel, with new geometry to enhance cutting ability. Designed strictly for competitive cutting, our XL Katana blades incorporate the geometry, strength, weight and profile needed for successful cuts on substantial targets. Featuring differential heat treatment and a narrow edge angle, these wide blades will reward good technique with clean cuts and excellent durability. Edge hardness is HRC60, back hardness HRC40. The grip is double-pegged to the tang for safety. Supplied with a protective cloth bag.

Crane Katana, 72.39 cm Blade Length

The Crane katana by Bugei is an elegant sword at a very reasonable price. The Crane tapers more towards the tip than the heavier *feeling* Samurai model. The Crane style is forged out of Swedish powdered steel with a dramatic hada, grain pattern, resulting from the forging/folding process. The tsuba, guard, is a pierced crane style and quite beautiful. The Crane symbolizes wisdom and longevity. The menuki are a younger and an older scholar/sage. The meaning is this, a man of wisdom and integrity would be long in the service of his lord, usually surviving one lord to serve the next generation, thus the analogy with the Crane, wisdom and longevity. This sword will serve well those who want a faster blade for iaido and yet still want a blade that has the strength for serious cutting. The nakago on the Crane Katana is ten inches in length with two mekugi securing the tsuka, handle, to the nakago, tang. The tsuka is wrapped in black silk ito. Like all of our swords many different blade and tsuka lengths are available providing a great deal of choice to fit each individuals' needs. Tsuka lengths of 11", 13", 14" and 15" are available with the Crane katana. Length of blade runs 27.5, 28.5, and 29.5. The beautiful hada (grain in the steel) is very apparent in our swords. This is the result of the extensive forging and folding process that is done by hand for each individual sword. The Crane tsuba is extraordinary in it's beauty and detail. It is a light tsuba and adds to the overall lightness of the blade. Menuki: Sage/Scholar Motohaba: 1 3/16 inch Sakihaba: 7/8" Torisori: 3/4" Kissaki: 1 1/4" Steel: Swedish Powdered Steel Folded Steel: yes The sword is available in the following options: SJC1409 = Tsuka: 38 cm - Blade: 75 cm 11915 = Tsuka: 35.56 cm - Blade: 72.39 cm 11916 = Tsuka: 33 cm - Blade: 69.85 cm Weight: 1.16 kg

Shi Katana

Blackest of the black and deadlier than death, the Shi Katana epitomizes the true function of the katana when carried to its ultimate end. When traditionally worn, the flash of the black skull shaped tsuba (guard) and kanji embossed fuchi-kashira (pommel) warns any would-be assassin that to challenge this warrior is to court your demise. The 11 ½” tsuka (handle) features a black-on-black tsuka-ito (handle wrap) and same (ray skin) handle contrasted by the triple silver skull menuki. A silver habaki (blade collar) and seppa (spacers) accent the 28” forged steel blade which rests in a hand carved, textured matte black saya. The saya is adorned with a buffalo horn kurikata (knob) and black and gold sageo (cord). Powerful, foreboding and deadly sharp, the Shi Katana possesses a thirsty blade and its owner must be one who can harness the power wisely.

Shishi/Liondog Katana, 75 cm Blade Length

Bugei is pleased to announce the reintroduction of an all new Lion Dog Koshirae - a matched set with a daito and tanto with the most intricate and elegant fittings Bugei has ever produced.The original Lion Dog was a favorite sword of many of Bugei's customers, but in the long run it was too difficult to produce reliably and we needed to focus on improving the core line of Bugei's swords.In the intervening years Bugei has been at the forefront in pushing new sword designs and improvements through Hanwei. Bugei went so far as to fly top ranked Japanese Sword Art instructors as well as professional sword polishers and koshirae craftsmen to China to help train the Japanese sword craftsmen at Hanwei. With the improvements we saw as a result of those efforts we decided to revisit the original idea behind the original Lion Dog koshirae. We thought of bringing it back as a "classic" design, but with all of the improvements seen from Paul Chen's Hanwei forge we decided it was time to challenge Hanwei to make their best sword ever. So we redesigned the koshirae, added kogatana and kogai, and really pushed the envelope for production swords. Hanwei was up to the challenge.The production sword market has grown greatly in the last 5-10 years. Many swords are haphazard at best in terms of shaping and style. We decided that if we were to reintroduce the Lion Dog koshirae we would completely redesign the concept.The "golden age" of the Japanese sword was Kamakura era of Japanese history. The very greatest names in Japanese sword history were working across Japan making fierce weapons that today are considered to be virtually priceless works of art. Many of these blades were deeply curved for use as tachi. As usage changed to katana style thrust through the obi on the warrior's side these magnificent blades were shortened. This created a very distinctive look to the curvature of the sword and basically defined what was "correct" for the rest of sword history. So we decided to focus on the period of history when the sword was first being worn through the obi. As a result we decided to produce the Lion Dog set as a daisho with the short sword being a tanto rather than the wakizashi to reflect the times we were representing. Next we went to the books on the great smiths of history. We chose a long sword (daito) and a tanto (shoto) by the great smith Masamune as the models for the shape, dimensions, and overall "feel" of the Lion Dog daisho. Masamune was considered to be one of the greatest, if not the greatest, smiths of Japanese sword history.His influence on the Japanese sword was profound and widely felt. His "Ten Famous Students" are themselves considered the innovators and in the highest levels of sword craft historically. So it seemed only natural to select a blade shape based on the work of Masamune. Of course we could never duplicate the wonderous artistry of a master like Masamune, but we wanted to have something absolutely authoritative and representative to base the Lion Dog upon. This goes right down to the two fine grooves carefully carved into the tanto. The Lion Dog, or shishi, is a very popular motif in the sword arts. With the connotations of protection, power, and truth they were an appealing theme to the warrior. But to be strictly accurate Shishi translates just to "lion." Of course the problem here is there are no lions in Japan. So why did so many temples end up with shishi guarding the gates? Why is the image of the shishi such a powerful image?Lions were seen in early Buddhist art and were called "foo-dogs" by the Chinese (the dog of the Buddha) or "Lions of Korea" by the Koreans. Often the "foo-dog" was pictured in the presence of the Buddha and was considered to be a powerful guardian. The roar of the lion represented power, protection, authority, truth, and a naturalistic honesty within Buddhist thought.In the 7th century Buddhism swept into Japan from China and Korea. The Japanese would hae seen paintings and scultures at this time representing these creatures and since they didn't have lions themselves their representations and descriptions would be based somewhat on what they new from art and how the concept was introduced. One version of te shishi was called the Karashishi or "Chinese Lion" probably in part due to the similarity to the facial structure of the Chinese Pekinese dog.These were often represented with an open mouth. The opem mouth most likely represented the release of bad spirits. Sometimes they would hold a round Buddhist jewel in their open mouth or between their feet which itself represented great power. The Korean shishi was called the Komainu or "Korean Dog." Usually the Komainu shishi has a ferocious expression with a closed mouth for keeping in the good spirits.The shishi represents great power, strength and authority. There are other themes with the open and closed mouth of in and yo, birth and death, releasing and keeping in, and so forth. Ultimately the shishi is a powerful representation of the "muscle" backing up the truth of Buddhism. As a result in Japan many Buddhist temples will have two shishi guardians at the entrance.In revisiting the overall koshirae design we decided it was time to bring in things never seen before in production swords. Most production swords are untilitarian in design but there is a rich diversty of mounting styles and options in the world of the Japanese sword. We wanted to build a koshirae representative of the time and style. We designed a kozuka with a functional blade for the katana and a kogai for the tanto. The kozuka, kogai and menuki have a peony design which is traditionally used with the shishi motif. Details: Blade length: 75 cm Handle length: 35,56cm The following versions of the Katana can be found in our shop: Shi-Shi / Liondog Katana, 79 cm blade length [11849] Shi-Shi / Liondog Katana, 75 cm blade length [11850] Shi-Shi / Liondog Katana, 72 cm blade length [11851] Important Note: The pictured Tanto in the product picture is not included, but you can also find it in our shop under the number: Shi-Shi / Liondog Tanto [11852]

Lion Dog Wakizashi

The Lion Dog Wakizashi features an O-Kissaki blade of Hanwei's own high-alloy HWS-1S steel, which combines superior performance with an outstanding O-choji hamon. This steel is made in Hanwei's new factory, with high-tech equipment, producing a very pure advanced-metallurgy blade with the best edge-holding capability and resilience of any blade ever produced by Hanwei. The outstanding performance characteristics of blades forged from HWS-1S steel derive from a combination of the careful selection of alloying elements and a complex processing procedure, basically involving the manipulation of the steel’s carbon content across the blade section. This results in a very tough and resilient blade with a hard, highly abrasion-resistant edge. The sharply detailed fittings feature a Lion-dog themed black iron tsuba, with matching fuchi/kashira and golden peony menuki. The complex saya features a gloss-lacquered ribbed section at the koiguchi/kurikata with the balance spatter-lacquered for a very attractive appearance. The premium multi-coloured sageo is hand-woven in pure silk. Made by Hanwei.

Inmortal Tanto

A tantō, "short blade" is one of the traditionally made Japanese swords that were worn by the samurai class of feudal Japan. The tantō dates to the Heian period, when it was mainly used as a weapon but evolved in design over the years to become more ornate.The tantō is commonly referred to as a knife or dagger. The blade is single or double edged, was designed primarily as a stabbing weapon, Tantō are generally forged in hira-zukuri style (without ridgeline), meaning that their sides have no ridge line and are nearly flat, unlike the shinogi-zukuri structure of a katana. Women sometimes carried a small tantō called a kaiken in their obi primarily for self-defense.With the advent of the katana, the wakizashi eventually was chosen by samurai as the short sword over the tantō.

Dragonfly-Wakizashi, with Bo-Hi

The Dragonfly Wakizashi is a relatively new addition to Bugei's lineup of swords. Made to be a companion sword to the Dragonfly Katana, it shares the same design, just scaled down to wakizashi size (50 cm shinogi zukuri blade with chu kissaki, 14 cm tsuka). The blade is not overly thin, but the nearly flat surface of the blade makes it an excellent soft target cutter. Each wakizashi is individually hand forged and folded from the superior Swedish Powdered Steel, available with or without bo-hi, and is very affordable. The Dragonfly Wakizashi tsuka is wrapped with dark brown silk tsukaito. All of our swords are tested extensively before they are put into production. We make sure that our swords perform as good as they look. The Dragonfly held a special significance to the Samurai. Their seemingly tireless movement reflected the Samurai's desire to give tireless service to his feudal Lord. The dark brown ito is set off by the black same making this a unique offering from Bugei. The lower shinogi and the scant hira-niku make this blade lighter and faster and gives it less resistance in cutting soft targets. The lighter weight, with available bo-hi, and beautiful hamon and hada, a product of the forging and folding of the Swedish Powdered steel, will make this sword a favorite of Iai practitioners as well as anyone interested in a light as well as fast sword. The fittings are made of iron that has been "antiqued" duplicating the look of many antique fittings. Ted Tenold is responsible for the design and authenticity of these fittings and we think that they are some of the best that we have offered.

Dragonfly Katana

The classic Japanese battle sword in all its incarnations has been celebrated for centuries, not only for its elegant lines and simple beauty, but also for the technique and skill that went into its construction. Most swords offered today are interpretive copies of antiquities from feudal Japan. They were made for warrior´s of small stature who seldom rose above five and a half feet. As skillfully designed as these swords are, they may not be perfectly suited for the twenty first century warrior, who benefited from contemporary advances in childhood nutrition and healthcare and grew up to be a substantially taller, stronger, and more athletic version of his historical counterpart. As a way of compensating for this size disparity, Cold Steel has created the Dragonfly Series. These swords feature thicker, wider and heavier blades, which mirror our Imperial Series in respect to heat treatment, polish, quality of furnishings, and attention to detail, but with a few new departures. Most noticeable are the distinctive teal-green silk cord-wrap and black samé (ray skin) used on the handles and the black iron furniture that bears the dragonfly motif. Also, the polished blades are more strongly curved than our Imperial blades and terminate in a long "iris leaf" point for maximum cutting and slashing potential. Additionally, these swords come with two protective bags. There is a blue travel bag and an intricately decorative display bag that´s made from the finest heavy silk metallic brocade. Specifications: Blade: 74.3 cm Overall: 103.51 cm Thick: 0,79 cm Weight: 1038.8 g Steel: 1055 Scabbard: Black Lacquered Wood

Bamboo-Katana, 72.39 cm Blade Length

Bugei reaches into history to design blades to be used by the student of traditional Japanese Sword Arts. The Bamboo Katana was Bugei's first production sword. And all these years later the updated Bamboo Katana with its elegant black fittings and gold bamboo highlights continues to be one of our most popular swords. Bamboo is a popular theme for Japanese sword mounts as it represents both strength and flexibility, qualities highly prized by the Samurai. The tsuba (sword guard) is made from a plate of soft copper that is given a hard gloss black coating and then gold highlights are applied to the intricate bamboo. The tsuka (handle) is wrapped in black silk ito to complement the gloss black saya and glossy black fittings. Originally made of Manchurian Rail steel, the Bamboo Katana is now made with a superior folded Swedish Powdered steel for added beauty and toughness. The Bamboo is a larger sword with moderate niku ("meat to the blade") creating an excellent sword for more difficult traditional targets. As always, our swords not only look like high quality swords, they also have quality of design, fit and finish that is not readily visible, like our 10" nakago with two mekugi to insure that the blade stays secure in the tsuka.The steel of these blades is folded and forged, then clay coated and heated to a red hot state before being quenched in water. This forms a resilient softer steel body (45-48 RC) with an aggressively hard edge (59 RC). This provides exceptional strength and shock resistance with superior edge holding and cutting ability. Careful polishing reveals the hamon and hada showing off the different crystalline structures of the steel. The swords clearly show the martinsite edge, the pearlite body, and nioi crystalline structure that lights up on the true hamon. Both the tsuka and the saya are hand made for each individual sword. This attention to detail means that you, our customer, get the best that we can provide.We also offer a wakizashi and tanto with fully matching furniture should you want to form a matching set (daisho). Included with each sword are a sword bag and quality cleaning kit we import directly from Japan. And as is true of all of our swords.

Citadel

Bamboo Wakizashi

Citadel's swords and knives are completely hand-made one off customs made entirely in their small shop in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. We've asked them to make for us a few in the same style, but made in the same way as their custom swords. Crafted individually from start to finish, each one is of course a bit unique in it's own way. Limited to just 20 swords, each is signed by the smith on the nakago with the sword number and comes with a matching certificate.The "Wakizashi" or Short Sword was worn with the longer katana, when the pair matched in theme they were considered a Daisho. However, when the katana was surrendered upon entering a home the wakizashi was not, making it truly the side-arm of the Samurai! The tsuba is hand cut and engraved from pure iron. The "nanako" or stippled pattern on the tsuba is accomplished by hand, quite a feat of patience with a stunning result. The tsuba also features "seki-gane", metal inserts at the top and bottom of the hole for the blade to slip through. These are of a softer metal (copper) than the iron of the tsuba and allow easier shaping of the hole to perfectly fit the tsuba to the blade. Over time if this fit becomes loose or the tsuba is fitted to another blade the seki-gane may be adjusted easily to tighten it back up. This is a small detail usually only found on hand-made Japanese tsuba and is indicative of the level of care and craftsmanship given to these swords by Citadel.The "tsuka" or handle and "saya" or scabbard are hand carved to fit each individual blade ensuring a proper fit. The handle is wrapped in genuine imported silk from Japan and tightly wrapped around the full same-gawa or ray skin wrap around the wooden core. The saya is lacquered in black to a nice semi-gloss finish with a ray skin wrap near the mouth of the saya to strengthen this area.These are extremely limited in numbers to be produced (20 only!). Each blade is signed on the tang with the model and number and includes a stamped certificate of authenticity.These swords are entirely hand-made by Citadel.Collect the set; a samurai wore two swords, the matching long sword, Katana, is also available to complete your collection.

A.P.O.C. Survival Katana

Before the seven seals are torn away... CAS proudly introduces the A.P.O.C. Swords from Dragon King. Whether it be plague, natural disaster, mass hysteria, nuclear fallout, zombies, alien invasion or mankind’s inevitable A.I. war, these tactical swords feature a meek and functional design against unremitting maintenance and corrosion in those bleak future days. But such thought in design are expected from combining the expertise of the artisans of Dragon King and the mind of sword maker, Gus Trim. Tactically black and no frills, the removable durable black G10 handle scales cover a thick full-tang on the Black Oxide coated 9260 Spring Steel blades. The black textured fiberglass sheaths are fitted to a Molle compatible kydex platform that allows you to secure your swords to belt or pack in multiple carry positions. A hole in the end of the scabbard allows drainage in wet environs. A notch in the handle and the platform allows for stealth unsheathing as well as locking the sword securely for inverted maneuvers. No preparations for the end times are complete without an A.P.O.C. tactical sword for when the bullets run out, the knives are too short and your life is on the line. The A.P.O.C. Katana at a glance looks atypical except for the classic Japanese styled blade. But fans of Gus Trim will recognize his subtle style and perfection in a design that’s historically atypical for this famed sword maker. When he was still making this sword, Gus called this model the "Little Tigress" and it's easy to see why. The 11 3/8” full tang G10 handle glides gently in the hand as the handle slabs, rivets and blade profile are effortlessly flush all around preventing blisters or lesions which eliminates a big problem when combatting in an infectious environment. The hooked guard prevents your fingers from sliding onto the blade edge. The 23 1/2" blade edge and contour features another Atrim profiling feature allowing precise cuts and slices. At 36 5/8” overall and 2 lbs 6 oz the A.P.O.C. Katana is hefty enough to split skulls and sever limbs but light enough to not hinder a valiant retreat. Specifications Overall: 36 5/8" Blade Length: 23 1/2" Handle Length: 11 3/8" Weight: 2 lbs 6 oz Point of Balance: 2" Blade Steel: 9260 Thickness of blade: 4mm Handle Material: G10

Golden Oriole Katana

It has been said that in simplicity lies great beauty, an axiom stunningly validated by the Golden Oriole Katana and Wakizashi. The story told by the stunning tsuba is of a mantis stealthily stalking the cricket, unaware that he is himself being stalked by the Golden Oriole. The deeply lacquered blue of the saya is repeated in the Japanese cotton tsuka-ito, and the Oriole appears again on the kashira. Unmistakably Hanwei quality, the 14" tsuka of the katana gives a superb balance to the sword, allowing it to move very quickly and very freely. Supplied with a protective cloth bag.

Oni Katana

The Oni are mythical creatures from Japanese folklore similar to western demons or trolls. In modern culture they are beginning to move away from this menacing connotation into the role of guardian or protector, similar in character to gargoyles. Their power and ferocity, however, have not diminished. There is a Japanese saying which translates to "Oni with an iron club", or to be of an invincible nature, a fitting association with the 29" L6/Bainite blade on which our Oni Katana is built. The blade features the geometry of our Performance Series for outstanding cutting ability. The 14" tsuka is wrapped in black ray skin and silk ito while the Koshirae feature Oni in various classical styles. A unique combination of folklore and functionality. Bainite is a structure of high-carbon steel that combines great strength with excellent flexibility and shock absorption characteristics. It has been known as an exemplary Katana blade component for a number of years but its use has been restricted to a few top-class master smiths, due to the difficulties involved in performing the exacting heat treatment procedures necessary for the production of a Bainite blade body in combination with the very hard Martensite Yakiba (edge section) required for Katana blades. Hanwei has now mastered this difficult process, using billets of L-6 tool steel (a very tough high-carbon low-alloy steel) as a starting point. Blades are forged and shaped in the normal way, then carefully heat treated to achieve the required Bainite and Martensite structures before final polishing. KEY FEATURES: * L6/Bainite Performance Series Katana Blade * Traditional Construction * Designed for Martial Artists MEASUREMENTS: Blade length: 29" Handle length: 14" Overall length: 44" Weight in box: 2lb 13oz

Yasukuni Captains Gunto

This sword replicates the Gunto of a high-ranking Japanese army officer of the Pre-WWII and WWII era. These swords were made from 1933 onwards by a group of highly-skilled sword smiths at the Yasukuni Shrine in Tokyo and are known collectively as the Yasukuni swords. Only 8000 of these swords were made and many were destroyed, so in recent years they have become highly collectable. Hanwei is producing these very accurate replicas for collectors unable to afford or obtain originals. The sword features a forged blade of high carbon 1095 steel.

Lotus Seed Wakizashi

A beautiful symbol of the circular journey of enlightenment, the lotus seed starts its life in the muck before growing in to a stalk to emerge from the muddy water to blossom. As the bloom fades the maturing seeds fall back in to the mud to continue the cycle of rebirth, which is so beautifully depicted in our Lotus Seed Daisho set from Dragon King. Like the lotus blossom the Lotus Seed Katana transitions from various shade of violet from the wrapped cotton ito (handle wrap), the gold and purple sageo on the smooth deep, dark lacquered saya. Copper seeds accent the blackened furniture throughout the handle. The immaculately detailed budding seed pod following the shedding of its pedals centers the entire piece. Silver dragonfly menuki, seppa and habiki splash highlights across the 7" tsuka. The 19 3/8” forged T10 blade features a midare or irregular hamon (temper) line much like the path of life with its ups and downs. The wakizashi completes the motif with a bold statement both physically and metaphorically without being audacious in design.

Bamboo Katana - 5160 Series

The Bugei Exclusive Trainer Sword Line uses less expensive modern through hardened 5160 mono-steel blades. The modern heat treatment methodology combined with a very tough steel yields a tough, aggressive cutting blade.

War Horse Katana

The earth trembles and the air thunders as thousands of hoofs strike the ground over the horizon. The tranquility of the emerald sea nor of the clear blue sky shield you from the destruction galloping toward you as battle nears. Much like the War Horse Katana, the beautiful colors of the emerald tsuka over white same (ray skin) belie the deadly sharp steel blade nestled in the deep blue saya. The forged 65Mn steel blade features true clay-tempering that produces a distinctive hamon (temper line). The traditional polish brings out the real hamon and a mirror shinogi-ji (flat section). The HRC 60 edge and HRC 40 back are ideal for cutting if you wish to try this pony in the field. The blackened tsuba features two rider-less horses chasing each other in the endless human condition of warfare. The silver menuki represent the Tokugawa and Oda clans whereas the fuchi and kashira feature the Takeda and Mori clan symbols. Truly a tragically beautiful katana built for war.

Ronin Katana

The Story of the 47 Ronin is one of the most celebrated and influential tales of the Samurai from the Edo period. Lord Asano was a powerful Daimyo ordered by the Shogun to entertain guests of the Imperial Family. The highest ranking master of protocol, Kira, was given the task of teaching Asano, among others, proper matters of etiquette in this task. Lord Asano and Kira quickly grew to dislike each other and the teacher insulted his student at every opportunity. No longer able to contain himself, Asano drew his sword upon Kira, wounding him in the attack. This act led to Asano´s ordered suicide (seppuku) and the confiscation of his property. On December 14, 1702, nearly one year after Asano´s death, 47 of Asano´s men (now Ronin), descended upon the mansion of Kira to exact their revenge. After a fierce battle, the Ronin demanded that Kira commit seppuku for his transgressions against their former master. When he refused he was beheaded. For their actions the Ronin were themselves sentenced to death by seppuku. They are buried together at the Sengakuji, offering a true testament to the loyalty inherent in the Samurai. Our Ronin Koshirae Katana captures the spirit of Lord Asano´s 47 Ronin. The blackened iron Tsuba depicts Asano´s followers on their vengeful march. The blade is hand forged & folded Swedish powder steel with Hi in a traditional Shinogi Zukuri style.

Butterfly sword

Prior to World War II, the Butterfly Sword was virtually unknown outside of southern China. This changed at the close of the 1940´s, when the Communists took control of mainland China, forcing many Kung Fu masters to flee the oppressive regime and establish new schools elsewhere. Currently, due to the spread of Kung Fu, these once obscure swords have become quite popular. Typically, Butterfly Swords come in pairs that are cleverly nested together so they appear to be one sword not two. When they are drawn, they can be quickly separated and wielded in both hands to make wickedly effective chops, slashes and thrusts. Our battle worthy blades are 38.1 cm long and 7.94 cm wide. The handsome slip-proof grip features carefully selected hardwood covered with attractively braided cord. The "D" shaped guard has a long forward quillion, so it can both deflect and trap various opposing weapons.

Lion Katana

The Lion Dog Katana features an O-Kissaki blade of Hanwei's own high-alloy HWS-1S steel, which combines superior performance with an outstanding O-choji hamon. This steel is made in Hanwei's new factory, with high-tech equipment, producing a very pure advanced-metallurgy blade with the best edge-holding capability and resilience of any blade ever produced by Hanwei. The outstanding performance characteristics of blades forged from HWS-1S steel derive from a combination of the careful selection of alloying elements and a complex processing procedure, basically involving the manipulation of the steel’s carbon content across the blade section. This results in a very tough and resilient blade with a hard, highly abrasion-resistant edge. The sharply detailed fittings feature a Lion-dog themed black iron tsuba, with matching fuchi/kashira and golden peony menuki. The complex saya features a gloss-lacquered ribbed section at the koiguchi/kurikata with the balance spatter-lacquered for a very attractive appearance. The premium multi-colored sageo is hand-woven in pure silk.

Bugei Dragonfly Katana-Bohi 5160 Steel 29.5"/11"

Our goal was to reduce production cost as much as possible while maintaining the classic good looks of the original mounts. There is no hamon and no hada (folding pattern) in the tough 5160 steel but these swords can cut and take abuse at the same time. So each sword can sit proudly on a sword stand but also be a daily working sword in the dojo.All of our swords are tested extensively before they are put into production. We make sure that our swords perform as good as they look. The Dragonfly held a special significance to the Samurai. Their seemingly tireless movement reflected the Samurai’s desire to give tireless service to his feudal Lord.The dark brown ito is set off by the black same making this a unique offering from Bugei. The lower shinogi and the scant hira-niku make this blade lighter and faster and gives it less resistance in cutting soft targets. The tsuka has the slight “waisting”, ryugo, that is popular with many who study Japanese sword arts. The fittings are beautifully antiqued duplicating the look of old iron. Ted Tenold is responsible for the design and authenticity of these fittings and we think that they are the best that we have offered.

Kamakura Tachi

The Kamakura period (1185-1333) was a crucial epoch in the history of Japan. It is characterized by the first military government (shogunate), which arosed by Minamoto no Yoritomo in 1192. The name of this era is derived from the former seat of government, which was in the city of Kamakura (about 50 km southwest of Tokyo). Together with armor (Yoroi) and Combat Knife (Tanto) the Tachi was usually worn on the battlefield. Unlike the katana, the tachi with its sword belt was fastened at belt with the Cutting edge worn down. The John Lee Kamakura Tachi is a deliberately simple design and thus differs from replicas from later periods, which were often richly decorated and were used only for ceremonial purposes.

Golden Flower Katana

The Golden Flower Katana features an extraordinarily beautiful tsuba which certainly has been made by a grand master in the 18th century. As these did not sign their work in contrary to the blade smiths, the creator is not known by name. The tsuba has been intricately decorated with golden cherry blossoms (sakura).

The katana has a handforged blade made of carbon steel with a fine hamon and has been tempered traditionally.

The sharp blade features a hi (fuller) to reduce the total weight. The handle (tsuka) is made of wood, has been coated with real fish skin and features two menukis. In addition it has been traditionally wrapped in black cotton. The tang is especially long and fixed with two bamboo pegs (mekugi).

Dragonfly Katana, 75cm Blade Length

One of the newer and very popular offerings from Bugei is our Dragonfly koshirae katana. It is a katana of distinctive style with a thinner, lighter blade individually hand forged and folded from the superior Swedish Powdered Steel. It comes as a shinogi zukuri sword with a chu kissaki. It is available with or without bo-hi and is a very affordable sword.Wakizashi and Tanto are also available in matched designs.The work with Paul Chen continues to produce swords of the highest quality -- the best value for the money. All of Buge swords are tested extensively before they are put into production. We make sure that our swords perform as good as they look. The Dragonfly held a special significance to the Samurai. Their seemingly tireless movement reflected the Samurai's desire to give tireless service to his feudal Lord. The dark brown silk ito is set off by the black same making this a unique offering from Bugei. The lower shinogi and the scant hira-niku make this blade lighter and faster and gives it less resistance in cutting soft targets. The blade feels very light in the hand but it is not overly thin. However, one should take care in cutting anything more than soft targets with a sword of this design.The lighter weight, with available bo-hi, and beautiful hamon and hada, a product of the forging and folding of the Swedish Powdered steel, will make this sword a favorite of Iai practitioners as well as anyone interested in a light fast katana. The tsuka has the slight "waisting", ryugo, that is popular with many who study Japanese sword arts. The fittings are beautifully antiqued duplicating the lood of old iron. Ted Tenold is responsible for the design and authenticity of these fittings and we think that they are the best that we have offered.We are frequently asked for detailed information on the measurements of our swords. Keep in mind that all of our exclusive swords are hand forged so there is always some variation.

Celestial Katana

The celestial bodies pull at the water’s edge and create the tide, the ebb and flow of waves that bring time and balance to our world. As the samurai warrior must give and take with the ever-flowing tides of life, the Celestial Katana reflects all the harmonious aspects of the heavens and the sea.A beautiful 27 5/8” L6 blade featuring a straight hamon line symbolizing placidity. The kashira and tsuba juxtaposes the hamon with a depiction of turbulent sea with waves crashing against the rocks. The tsuka features black cotton sageo over white same with multi-finish planetary menuki. The saya sparkles with a beautiful silver flake with a gloss polish with a buffalo horn kojiri, kurikata and koiguchi adorned with a navy and white sageo.Bainite is a structure of high-carbon steel that combines great strength with excellent flexibility and shock absorption characteristics. It has been known as an exemplary Katana blade component for a number of years but its use has been restricted to a few top-class master smiths, due to the difficulties involved in performing the exacting heat treatment procedures necessary for the production of a Bainite blade body in combination with the very hard Martensite Yakiba (edge section) required for Katana blades. Hanwei has now mastered this difficult process, using billets of L-6 tool steel (a very tough high-carbon low-alloy steel) as a starting point. Blades are forged and shaped in the normal way, then carefully heat treated to achieve the required Bainite and Martensite structures before final polishing. Key Features: L6/Bainite Katana Blade Traditional Construction Designed for Martial Artists Specifications Overall: 39 3/8” Blade Length: 27 5/8” Handle Length: 10 ½” Weight: 2.3 lbs Sori: .5" Blade Steel: L6 Hrc Edge: 58~60 Hrc Back: 38~42 Specs will vary slightly from piece to piece.

John Lee Shirasaya Katana

Shirasaya refers to a special sword mount, which was formerly used for the gentle keeping of the blade. Especially in times of peace the blades were ideal protected stored in it. The unvarnished Magnolia wood absorbs the moisture inside the sheath, leads it to the outside and thus protects against rust. Many Shirasaya were provided with a "Sayagaki", an inscription, which gave information on smith, origin and classification. On the streets of Japan, the inconspicuous gear without handle and guard, especially in the late 19th Century was used because at that time the Emperor banned the carrying of Samurai swords. The Shirasaya mount, which was similar to a wooden sword or wooden stick was a clever way to wear the sword unnoticed. Blade in Shinogi Zukuri style with fuller (Bo-Hi), hand-forged from 1045 carbon steel. The blade is sharp grounded with incorporated Hamon-line for a very authentic look. Wooden scabbard. With long tang, which is fixed with two bamboo pins (Mekugi) in the handle. The sword is thus fully demountable. Without plastic, only high-quality and authentic materials are used.

Old Pine Katana, Blade Length 74.93 cm

The Old Pine Katana was originally released using an unfolded, modern high alloy steel with a high tech heat treatment. However, while the prototypes were quite impressive, once it went in to production we found the factory was unable to deliver sufficient numbers in the quality we required. And then a devastating fire at the Hanwei forge forced Hanwei to re-evaluate whether to continue with the new steel. At that point we suspended sales of the Old Pine Katana until we could get some idea as to what we could expect from the factory.Bugei is pleased to announce that they will now be offering the Old Pine Katana again, but this time in the tried and tested powdered steel used in all of the sword lines for the last decade. This steel has been durable, reliable, and the factory was able to produce swords for us at the quality required in the past. So Bugei is now offering the Old Pine for sale again, except now it will be with the steel as used in all our other swords. Please note that until we get in our first shipment the photographs will show the old steel type. The goal was to make a sword that was without peer in terms of performance but would still have a beautiful and somewhat traditional look. Since the sword is intended to be a strong workhorse that you can rely on day in and day out for years, the sword is mounted in an understated "pine" motif. The pine tree endures year round as it is an evergreen which befits the steel used for this fine and powerful katana that will never let you down. The blackened iron tsuba is a classic design picturing a pine tree and pine needles. The shape was chosen as it allows the swordsman to place the sword on the ground in front of them without worrying about the sword rolling. The fuchi kashira are also blackened iron with pine motifs. The menuki are gold gilded representations of pine cones. The green saya represents the year round green of the evergreen pine and sports understated hand-painted gold needles.The tsuka is wrapped in brown silk ito with blackened samekawa underneath. The sword has two mekugi and all saya parts are made of fine horn. The blade has light niku but is of moderate weight and dimensions with an extended chu kissaki and moderate sori. It is a very sharp blade that is an aggressive cutter that should handle any conventional cutting practice. It handles relatively lightly in the hands but of course balance will vary according to blade and tsuka length as chosen by the customer. The prototype sword shown in the photographs is approximately 30 inches long with a 14" tsuka.This sword is available for order now from Bugei Trading Company. As swords arrive from the factory and pass our stringent quality control orders will be filled on a first come, first served basis.Customers have a choice in sword length (nagasa). We are frequently asked for detailed information on the measurements of our swords. Keep in mind that all of our exclusive swords are hand forged so there is always some variation. During a quality control visit we asked Keith Larman to measure a "typical" Old Pine katana. Here are the measurements for this one sword.

Dragonfly Katana, 71.12cm blade length, 30.48cm handle length

Our New Dragonfly Katana keeps all the attributes of the original version that made this sword great, but we've improved the furniture by adding more detail to bring out the beauty and message of this piece. Maintaining the original distinctive style, with a thinner and lighter blade that is individually hand forged and folded, our new katana features the blending of T-10 and 1055 steel. This new folded steel combination presents striking contrast between the layers and when polished reveals a highly visible hada. The Dragonfly held a special significance to the Samurai. Their seemingly tireless movement reflected the Samurai’s desire to give tireless service to his feudal Lord. The fittings are beautifully antiqued duplicating the look of old iron. The new tsuba design is made in iron with a copper inlaid dragonfly, which contrasts beautifully against the weathered looking iron. The authenticity and craftsmanship behind these fittings make these some of the best furniture upgrades we have ever offered. The dark brown silk ito is set off by the black same making this a unique offering. The lower shinogi and the scant hira-niku make this blade lighter and faster, and gives it less resistance when cutting soft targets. The tsuka has the slight “waisting”, ryugo, that is popular with many who study Japanese sword arts. Details: Blade Steel: T10 & 1055 Weight without Saya (Sheath): 2lb 8oz Overall Length: 41 5/8" Nagasa (Blade) Length: 28" Tsuka (Handle) Length: 12" Kasane (Thickness at Habaki): 6.8mm Sakikasane (Thickness at Tip): 2.5mm Motohaba (Width of Blade at Habaki): 31mm Sakihaba (Edge to back at Yakote): 22.8mm Sori: 3/4"
