These swords have been used for training in Japan. We offer them for comparatively affordable prices so that you can use an authentic Japanese sword for your training.
Training means that the sword will become "worn" over time. Over time, such training swords develop typical symptoms such as small, superficial scratches on the blade or minimal play between the handle and the other attachments. More details can be seen in the pictures.
This sword is currently still in Japan. We will take care of the import (at no extra charge) if you decide to buy it.
