The BLADE... It took several years to find a blacksmith who was able to produce our Kozuka blades and at a price that was reasonable enough so that they could be offered to collectors. Each blade has been forge folded and finished entirely by hand. The final result includes a 'faux' Hamon that became the final part of the plan to best match them to the specs and appearance of original blades. Their shapes and proportions plus the rusted tang are common features with genuine antique blades.  Because our blades are excellent copies and priced very reasonable, they are in short supply and it would be wise to order well in advance of any actual need. Those seeking to purchase an 'original' blade soon discover that prices start at approximately $200 for worn or damaged blades.

The HANDLE...Those of us looking for a genuine handle for a blade soon discover that handles in good condition are very expensive and some can equal the value of regular sword blades. Most 'originals' were made of Copper, Shakado, Silver or Iron and a few in a combination of these metals. Because original blades have been around for some time and many have suffered some damage, it is condition and the makers name that accounts for their price.
