General Terms:

Do not swing your katana carelessly.

Treat all swords with regard and respect as you would a loaded gun. Katanas have caused loss of limb and life even in the hands of trained expert during public demonstrations. Anytime your sword leaves the scabbard, make sure everyone around you is well out of reach of you and your weapon. Inspect your katana each time you handle your sword. The katana is a heavy weapon that can slip out of your grip easily. Precaution should be taken to make sure there are no one in the way of your swing as well as your trajectory if the sword should slip or fail.

Swords are not toys!

Improper use and handling of a live katana may result in serious injuries or death to yourself or bystanders. Please keep any knives or blades out of reach or children and never handle a katana in a dangerous or threatening manner.

ADULT BUYERS ONLY

We will NOT sell any swords to minors or to regions where live sword sale is prohibited by law. Please check the regional regulations of your country or area before placing any orders with us. It is your responsibility to make sure that purchase, shipping, and possession of such a weapon is legal.

Any of our weapons purchased through online auction sites or outside of our store and authorized dealers will be considered a second hand sale. All warranty will be null and void.

A katana sword is a live weapon that is only intended for display or use by martial arts professionals with proper training and under supervision of a qualified instructor. Do not use the swords under any circumstances unless you are ranked by a internationally recognized federation as capable of handling a live blade and under the supervision of a ranked instructor.

Prior to using ANY katana, a thorough and detailed inspection is required by a trained sword smith professional to verify metal/parts integrity and proper assembly.

Unless all necessary precautions are taken as described above, never ever use a katana.

Consider all of our katanas sold for display purposes only. We will not be held responsible for any damages, injuries, or death resulting from use or misuse. Any warranty, refunds, exchanges will be immediately void upon use.

Do not strike your sword against another sword in mock battle. Katanas are never intended to be struck edge to edge. The Japanese katana is a slashing weapon and may be used for light parry using the flat corners of the blade. It is never intended to absorb a forceful strike from a rigid instrument. Doing so will easily break or damage your blade to the point where it loses integrity. Our swords have been further lightened with the "blood groove" and thus never intended to strike or absorb strikes from a rigid object.

Do not strike your sword against a hard surface or attempt to cut wood or chop trees. Doing so may damage your blade to the point where it loses integrity which may cause serious injuries or death.
