Welcome to my site. We have recently redesigned it so that it works with tabbed browsers. The links on the left will take you to the various pages.

We are aiming to make this the best site on the web for anything to do with Japanese swords. If you are interested in buying a sword but can't find the one you want here, or are unsure of exactly what you want, contact me and let me know your budget. If you want to be on my mailing list and get first refusal on new swords, click the link on the menu to the left. If you want a sword made for you, ask. If you want a sword for martial arts, talk to us.

We also sell the best quality sword supplies and the best reproduction sword fittings available. You will not find any cheap imitations here that will wear out in next to no time flat. If it says 'silk', then you can take it that it is top quality Japanese silk woven in Japan according to traditional patterns specifically for use with swords or armour, not a cheaper alternative. If it says silver, then it is silver of a quality that, by law, needs to be hallmarked in the UK.

Alternatively, if you need antique fittings and don't see what you want, ask and we'll see if we can find them for you. If you want unique modern tosogu, we can commission a set. If you need a sword restored, whether it is polishing or repairs to the urushi, we can do the work to museum quality. We work with some of the best craftsmen available; some are Japanese-trained and do museum restorations, whilst others have had their work exhibited in Japanese museums .

There are some jobs are almost impossible to get done outside Japan. Some jobs are very expensive if you have to go to Japan. Some jobs are hard to get done to the same high standard outside Japan.

We can do them. Just click on Services to see what we can do.

And if there is anything that we haven't covered, just ask. We have an extensive network of contacts and would be only too glad to enquire for you.

Finally, and for the benefit of UK customers, every sword here is exempt from the ban on ‘samurai swords’. This ban excludes antiques, genuine Japanese swords made after 1954, swords used for re-enactment, swords used by bona fide martial artists, swords intended for educational or religious purposes, or swords made by 'traditional means'. In effect, this means that the only swords that are banned are wallhangers. Again for the benefit of UK customers, you have to be over 18 to buy any of the swords on this site.

Note: I have had to put some prices of some fittings up. Continuing increases in the price of precious metals, especially silver, have been forcing our suppliers to increase their prices. Recent changes in exchange rates have also had an impact.
