This sword has been used in Japan for practising swordsmanship. We offer it for a comparatively affordable price so that you can use an authentic Japanese sword for your training. Swords that are used develop typical symptoms over time, such as minimal play between the handle and the other attachments. Sooner or later, these will also occur during your own training anyway, so they are not a problem.
This sword is currently still in Japan. We take over the complete handling (all associated costs are already included in the offered price).
