The Swords of the Competition Samurai Sword Series are fine examples of a time-honored sword maker’s art. They are made the traditional way and can be easily disassembled for cleaning and maintenance.

This authentic, fully functional Samurai sword by United® Cutlery is made using only the finest traditional materials. Features include a high carbon spring steel blade control hardened to 47-50 HRC, an authentic tsuba (guard), fuchi (collar), kashiri (pommel), genuine samé (rayskin) covered grip with leather cord wrap, and a real wood saya (scabbard). The tang of each blade is also marked with the mei, the swordsmith’s signature. Each UC1481 is presented with a protective black cloth pouch and a Sword Care Kit (UC1480, also sold separately). The kit includes everything necessary for basic sword care: (1. Brass awl/hammer to easily dismantle the sword, 2. Rice paper for cleaning oil from the blade, polishing and spreading oil on the blade, 3. Extra-large uchiko powder ball; the pad contains non-abrasive powder that absorbs extra cleaning oil, 4. Bottle of choji oil, to prevent rusting, and 5. Plastic container to store an oiled cloth).
