\nThe price of authentic Japanese swords is a lot higher than Japanese imitation swords.
\nAll of them were hand-forged, and most of the swords sold on our website are antique swords, which are at least 150 years old or older. Also, the blades are made of Japanese special carbon steel called TAMAHAGANE. That means the swords are edged, and some of them are super sharp.<\/p>\n
