Left side the speccs and things I ordered, right side the things I received (this part is only about the measurments of the blade and tsuka). It's made of 1060 steel with a suguha hamon. The sword cost me 516.00 Euros without shipping costs because of a special action. And I knew I ordered a pretty big sword, but the moment I took it out of the bag I just felt like: „Yeah thats the sword I imagined“.Ī very heavy, long and red/black sword with a lot of straight lines on the blade. It came packed in the option I choose (just a cotton bag). I think I have stated my opinion to the customer support and the circumstances of shipping enough above, now lets start with the sword.

I decided to review this sword because it was hard for me to find full reviews of YariNoHanzos custom Katanas. I have not received a compensation to give this sword a favorable review.

This sword was purchased at the normal price and was not given to me as a free review sample. It only took so long because of the lining up of bad things with the transport and the custom clearance.īut now it arrived and I can say I'm pretty happy with it.įrom the measurments it's more like an O-Katana, but it doesn't have any historical overview, some of the measurments I placed are out of the regular, and I just thought these would look good. He could always give me informations about the state of the sword, and also sent me some images. For me it took about nearly 8 months, but that didn't bother me that much because of the great, fast and personal customer support I received from Francesco (which I believe is in responsibility of the customer support). Their site states the delivery takes from about 4 to 7 months. So I decided to customize my own sword and placed the order. I was very surprised with the whole lot of customization options, in my opinion a lot more than on the other sites I have seen. After that I found out about the custom Katana option and saw the same fittings. They were unknow to me and looked better then the normal production ones. But then I looked through the Nobunaga Katana Shinken on the website of YariNoHanzo and really liked the fittings.

The blade is hand forged & folded Swedish powder steel with Hi in a traditional Shinogi Zukuri style.įunctional, battle ready samurai sword of exceptional quality.I was on the search for a good looking red/black themed Katana, but just couldn't find one. The blackened iron Tsuba depicts Asano’s followers on their vengeful march. Ronin Koshirae Katana captures the spirit of Lord Asano’s 47 Ronin. They are buried together at the Sengakuji, offering a true testament to the loyalty inherent in the Samurai. For their actions the Ronin were themselves sentenced to death by seppuku. After a fierce battle, the Ronin demanded that Kira commit seppuku for his transgressions against their former master. On December 14, 1702, nearly one year after Asano’s death, 47 of Asano’s men (now Ronin), descended upon the mansion of Kira to exact their revenge. This act led to Asano’s ordered suicide (seppuku) and the confiscation of his property. No longer able to contain himself, Asano drew his sword upon Kira, wounding him in the attack. Lord Asano and Kira quickly grew to dislike each other and the teacher insulted his student at every opportunity. The highest ranking master of protocol, Kira, was given the task of teaching Asano, among others, proper matters of etiquette in this task. Lord Asano was a powerful Daimyo ordered by the Shogun to entertain guests of the Imperial Family. The Story of the 47 Ronin is one of the most celebrated and influential tales of the Samurai from the Edo period.
