The katana is exquisitely crafted with superb precision. I would particularly like to highlight the attention to detail. The intricate workmanship creates a complete look and conveys the feel of a truly high-quality product. Delivery to Germany went smoothly and arrived on time.

Why choose the Nodachi format?Extended proportion and visual balance
A Nodachi format uses an extended silhouette, so the visual relationship between the long blade, handle, fittings and saya needs to read as one composition. It can suit a collector who prefers a more dramatic proportion or wants a longer centerpiece for a coordinated display. The format establishes the proportion; the options in the builder establish the appearance of this order.
Review the complete sword from several views after every major change. Repeating one metal finish across the fittings and limiting the main palette can help the longer form remain visually coherent. The live builder is the reference for the configuration currently available.
Blade, steel and edge decisionsMaterial, geometry, polish and inscription
The current builder separates the blade into practical decisions such as material or steel, blade shape, cutting-edge option, groove, point line, polish and inscription. These controls may appear under names including Zukuri, Ha, Bo-Hi, Yokote, Togi and Mei. Follow the options actually shown in the live builder because availability and priced combinations can change.
Review the full blade selection as one system. A groove changes the visual rhythm of the blade; polish affects its surface presentation; the edge choice affects handling responsibility; and an inscription should be checked character by character before checkout. The preview and saved configuration—not a generic product photograph—identify what you selected.
Tsuka, fittings and sayaBuild a coordinated mounting
The mounting choices bring most of the visible personality to a custom Nodachi. Depending on current availability, the builder can include samegawa and its application style, tsuka-ito material, wrapping style, tsuba, seppa, habaki, fuchi and kashira, menuki, saya and sageo. Each category has a different role, but they should read as one composition when viewed together.
Use the large preview to compare colors and finishes after every major change. A simple method is to choose one dominant tone for the saya, one supporting tone for the handle and one metal finish that repeats across the fittings. The builder remains authoritative if a pictured example and a currently selectable option differ.

Questions before ordering
Custom Nodachi FAQ
Will the price change as I choose options?
Yes. Priced selections update the configured total inside Kickflip. Review that total and the cart price before completing checkout.
What does the builder preview represent?
It helps you review the selected combination from several views. The saved configuration and Shopify order record are the operational reference for the custom build.
Can I add an inscription?
Use the inscription or Mei choice shown in the live builder when available. Confirm spelling, characters and requested placement before checkout.
How long does production take?
Current guidance for a fully custom order is approximately 3–4 months before dispatch. Carrier transit begins only after workshop completion.
When will I see the shipping charge?
After you enter the delivery destination at checkout, Shopify shows the available shipping rate before payment is completed.
Can I change the design after checkout?
Contact support as early as possible with the order number. A change is not guaranteed and depends on the request and the current production stage.
