Samurai Swords

Japanese samurai swords have become the most legendary of samurai weaponry. The sword of the samurai or authentic samurai sword would have been folded and forged by the sword maker out of Japanese sand iron. In feudal Japan folded samurai swords were necessary because of the impurities found in the steel, unlike today where equal performance can be achieved with forged samurai swords because of our advancements in metal refining processes.

The samurai sword parts also referred to as the furniture were normally crafted by someone other than the blade smith. Once the blade was received the furnishing began custom to the blade. Many samurai swords would have several different furnishings for different occasions. The battle ready samurai sword would be outfitted with very simple furnishing with no esthetic purpose but for samurai sword fighting and war.

The antique samurai sword would have been passed down generation to generation through the family. This would have been a custom samurai sword unique to the individual or family and would be a cherished heirloom.
