USA SHIPPING ⚠️ From 9 oct. 2025

Order, Japan Post (EMS) has temporarily suspended all commercial deliveries to the United States.

As a result, we are now shipping through alternative private carriers. Unfortunately, these services are considerably more expensive. Therefore, we kindly ask our U.S. customers to contribute a portion of the shipping cost — $200 per order.

Please note that delivery times will also be longer, as we must obtain a custom shipping quote from the carrier for each sword. We currently estimate a 3–4 month delivery window.

We sincerely appreciate your patience, understanding, and continued support during this time.

Este es un Gendaitō completamente funcional (espada japonesa moderna) elaborado por el hábil herrador Ikeda Kanetsuna, con base en Seki, Prefectura de Gifu, una de las regiones de fabricación de espadas más famosas de Japón. La hoja está magistralmente pulida y mantiene un filo afilado como una navaja, lo que la hace adecuada tanto para corte de prueba (tameshigiri) como para artes marciales tradicionales como iaido y battōjutsu.

El katana exhibe un hermoso y refinado hamon gunome (línea de temple), reflejando el proceso preciso de tratamiento térmico del herrador. Las proporciones bien equilibradas de la hoja, con una curvatura moderada de 1,2 cm, la convierten en una pieza excepcional tanto en forma como en función. Su acero presenta un hada apretado y uniforme, mejorando aún más su atractivo estético.

La montura (koshirae) incluye una tsuba finamente elaborada (sukashi tetsu tsuba), una tsuba de hierro calada que añade elegancia mientras mantiene la integridad estructural. El mango está envuelto en materiales tradicionales, asegurando un agarre firme adecuado para uso real.
