The BLADE... It took several years and a great amount of effort to find a sword maker to produce our Kozuka / Ko-gatana blades and to finally be able to have them so they could be sold at a reasonable price. Each has been forge folded and finished by hand. The final result includes a 'faux' Hamon and was part of a plan to best match them to the specifications and appearance of original blades. The blade shapes and proportions plus the rusted tang are common features with genuine antique blades.  Because our blades are excellent copies and priced most reasonable, they are generally in short supply and it would be wise to order well in advance of any actual need. Those seeking purchase of an older 'original' blade soon discover that prices will starts at approximately $200 for ground down and worn out blades.

The HANDLE... If your looking for a genuine handle for your blade, you will soon discover that quality pieces are very expensive and in some cases, more expensive than the sword blades being restored.  Many handles were made of Copper, Shakado, Silver and or combinations of the metals. They are easily damaged through improper handling. As with swords, their condition and makers name accounts for their high price.
