We get it — “free shipping” feels good.
But that’s behavioral psychology at work.
It tricks your brain into thinking you’re saving,
when really, you're just paying in another way.
We don’t play that game.
No fake “free shipping,” no inflated prices, no marketing mind tricks.
Just honest blades, honest pricing.
Maybe it feels unfamiliar — maybe even uncomfortable.
But we believe trust is built on truth, not tactics.

This is a Chōtsuka Katana — a long-handle version of the traditional katana used in certain Ryuha styles and modern tameshigiri. With a 42cm tsuka and a 73cm blade, this nagae no katana offers extended leverage, excellent control, and devastating cutting power.
Forged from T10 steel and clay tempered to produce an authentic hamon, this sword features twin bohi grooves for optimal balance and sound feedback. The unique weight distribution — with the balance point closer to the hands — gives practitioners a powerful yet responsive experience in each swing.
Ideal for martial artists training in precision and strength-based cuts, or collectors seeking a rare and functional long handle katana, this blade is crafted to perform.
