Final Closeout Scratch and Dent Pricing - Last Chance Offer.

FREE SHIPPING IN THE USA!

This is the last of our stock of the Kaneie swords, these Tastumaki style katana were never advertised since we only ever received a handful of them. Obviously making these swords EXTREMELY RARE!

These swords have some extremely minor cosmetic flaws such as tiny scratches or cosmetic defects on the saya and/or a spec of rust on the back of the black (mune) - very minor, but flaws none-the-less, and will save you over $400!!

Tatsumaki, meaning waterspout in Japanese, is an apt name for the turbulent nature of this sword. The sword's blade is in the Shobu-Zukuri blade shape which begins in the same way as the more common Shinogi but instead has a tip that gracefully terminates into a keen point. The blade has a groove (bo-hi) cut into it to lighten and balance the long blade.

The well shaped handle is wrapped in green Japanese cotton ito with the saya lacquered in a gloss dark-green with black splatter pattern. The silver plated brass fittings on the handle are in a rain / scratch pattern with a turbulent steel tsuba.

ABOUT KANEIE

Based out of Shanghai, Kaneie forges their own samurai sword blades adhering closely to the traditional Japanese shapes but use modern steels to produce a superior overall production sword. Many of the steel and alloy fittings are sourced from Japan as well as the handle wrap (ito). Kaneie carves the scabbard and handle from high quality woods and shapes them to a high standard not seen outside of high end custom swords and, of course, Japan.

The Okuden collection is specifically designed for the Japanese swordsmanship student looking for a traditional sword. The T10 or 1095 steel blade is differentially hardened and shows a real (non chemically enhanced) hamon. These swords are traditionally polished up to the uchigumori stage to save the costs of the shiage polish (the cosmetic finishing polish). This process is very expensive while not adding additional practical value.
