FAQs

During the Edo period, Japanese swords evolved into refined symbols of samurai status, characterised by precise blade curvature, traditional cord-wrapped hilts, and functional iron handguards.

Authentic katanas feature tamahagane folded steel blades, ray skin handle foundations wrapped in woven cord, iron handguards, and wood or leather-covered protective scabbards.

Authentic pieces display distinct temper lines along the edge, signature grain patterns in the forged steel, hand-incised maker signatures on the tang, and period-appropriate surface oxidisation on metal fittings.

An antique sword is typically displayed horizontally on a low dark-wood or lacquer stand, positioned on a mantelpiece, sideboard top, or inside a glass collector cabinet.

Blades require occasional cleaning with traditional rice paper and a thin application of non-acidic choji oil to prevent corrosion, alongside placement in a climate-controlled environment away from direct light.
