Over the years that we have been in the swords business, we have had many customers ask us to help them to find a sword polisher who could polish their sword blade without charging the well known 'arm & a leg'. Many sword owners place a high 'sentimental value' on their sword, often higher than it could bring if sold at auction. They are also unwilling to pay $100 per inch to have it polished. 

If you have a genuine antique sword, we recommend your paying the price and only to a professionally trained sword polisher. Let him do his magic rather than take a chance with some unqualified amateur who is likely to screw up the blade.

We offer a sword polishing service at an almost unheard of rate of $800 or less. Our professional and fully trained polisher (who prefers not dealing directly with customers) is producing a traditional polish, crisping up the 'lines' and taking the time to bring out the temper line as much as time permits and doing it at a low cost.  I would not recommend his services for a signed expensive antique blade but he does a great job with modern made and WW2 era swords are concerned.  Our sword polish 'turn-around time' is generally 2 to 3 months. 

Note:  All old Saya are contaminated with tiny specks of rust and dirt which are guaranteed to either scratch or cause premature rusting of your freshly polished blade.  Therefore, it is NOT wise to put a freshly polished blade back into its original Scabbard (Saya).  One of our custom made lacquered Saya or a Shirasaya (resting case) is the obvious answer.

Please call or E-mail us for a polishing appointment.
