The basic concept of these swords is simple...
In conjunction with a highly skilled and experienced forge in China, we take a traditionally clayed and differentially hardened T-10 High Speed Tool Steel blade as a base and YOU design your own unique, one of a kind Katana from our range of customization options!
Time from ordering to delivery is typically 90 days as each piece is hand made from scratch, with the completed swords shipped to one of our warehouses in Canada to be pre-inspected before shipping, which means that we can offer...
A WORD FROM PAUL: I really am extremely proud of these swords - Differentially Hardened Tool Steel blades like this would be a good deal WITHOUT all the custom options - but as you can see from our Custom Katana Gallery the number of combinations and the quality of the swords produced is quite exceptional for the money, and these swords are a hit at JSA dojos around the world..The only disadvantage is that they take a fair while (90 days) to produce, but we refuse to rush them through..
A note on a few of the options: the no-hi option is best for a heavy duty cutting sword, while the bo-hi option creates a faster sword that is better suited to Kata (but is almost as tough, and certainly can cut with the best of them!).
With regards to selecting the ideal length, a rough and ready guide is that a 27" blade best suits anyone under 5'3" - a 28" blade, 5'4" to 5'8" - and the 29" blade for persons 5'9" and above.
