Japanese Samurai Swords Buying Guide

When it comes to
Samurai Swords, there is quite a bit of
terminology for the new collector to understand. But we want to make it easy for
anyone to find a good quality samurai sword that will last a lifetime, no matter
if you're looking for one of the very sought after Paul Chen Katana swords for
battle or just a quality sword to hang over the mantle.

The first thing to consider for your new samurai sword is the type and quality
of the blade. If you're looking for a you want to be sure and choose a full tang
blade, which all of our authentic samurai swords feature as well as all of our
battle ready swords. The term "full tang" means that the blade and the part of
the sword under the Tsuka (handle) is one long piece of steel. If you get a
sword that is not full tang then you're basically buying it to hang on the wall
and nothing more.

The next thing to consider when choosing a sword is the type of steel that the
blade is made of. There are basically 3 types of steel, 420 J2 (Stainless
steel), High Carbon, and Folded steel. If you are looking for a battle ready
sword you'll want to stay away from the 420 J2 Stainless. High carbon steel is
very high quality steel; however folded steel is the strongest. Actually it's
not that the folded steel is a different type of steel, but how the blade is
forged.

A folded steel blade is typically made from high carbon steel. The difference is
that a folded steel blade is just like it says; the steel is folded over and
over again until the smith believes that it is adequate.

Some people say that a good high carbon steel blade can be just as strong as a
folded steel blade. The smiths for the Thaitsuki Nihonto Swords claim to have
mastered a form of forging high carbon steel blades that is just as strong if
not stronger than many of the folded steel blades.

When choosing Japanese
Swords there are basically 3 different styles to consider, the katana
sword, the Wakizashi sword and the Tanto sword. The Japanese Katana Sword is the
most popular among collectors and martial arts students alike.

The katana sword was the first and is still the most popular of all samurai
swords. The blade is typically 29" long with an overall length around 40"

The Wakizashi sword is the shorter companion blade of the katana sword. We first
see the Wakizashi sword during the Muromachi period (1568-1603). The Wakizashi
was about 18" long and only allowed to be carried by a samurai. Carrying both
the katana and the Wakizashi was popular for the next few hundred years.

The smallest samurai sword would be the tanto sword or dagger. Originally tanto
swords were 12" in length or less but it's not out of the ordinary to come
across a Tanto that is 15" long.

Samurai sword collecting is a very popular past time for many Americans.
Something that is becoming even more popular is martial arts that make use of
samurai sword for fighting and cutting exercises. The most popular and
affordable authentic samurai swords are the Paul Chen Swords. You can find
decent Paul Chen Practical
Katana Swords for under $200. However for
less than a hundred more you can get yourself a Paul Chen Practical Plus Katana.
If you're looking for something a little more pricy the Paul Chen Bushido Katana
or the Orchid Katana will last a lifetime and can take quite a beating. The
Orchid and Bushido also come in a Wakizashi and Tanto.

In conclusion, the most important thing when buying your sword is that you know
what kind of blade you're getting. If you want a functional sword be sure that
you're not getting one that's only made to hang on the wall.
