Customer review
I have a big interest in Japanese culture. I like sushi, tempura, soba and manga(Japanese comics) but I also enjoy samurai and ninja. I was surprised to hear that the sword which the samurai used to carry still exists today. I managed to order a ARITSUGU knife and scabbard through a friend in Japan. When I held the sword in my hands, I was overwhelmed and felt I had become a samurai ! On top of it, I also purchased a sword stand. Once I placed the sword on the stand, I felt a samurai aura around it. I can't use this sword for cooking, but feel very pleased to have it on display. (From Australia)
