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 Hien – a standard-size katana forged from high-performance T10 steel, featuring a visually striking flame-style hamon achieved through traditional clay tempering.
The blade is polished with twenty-five stages of meticulous hand-finishing, revealing a brilliant mirror sheen and visible hamon line.
Its handle (tsuka) is wrapped in black cotton cord over genuine rayskin, paired with engraved brass fittings and a wave-inspired tsuba that echoes the flow of the blade.
The red lacquered scabbard (saya) is handcrafted from dense hardwood with swirling patterns reminiscent of flickering flames, secured by a black and red sageo knot.
Whether for cutting practice, martial arts display, or collection, this katana offers both aesthetics and performance worthy of your sword stand.
