*****ANNOUNCEMENT: WE WILL BE CLOSING OUR BUSINESS*****
After almost two decades in operation, we will finally be closing our business. Due to the global pandemic, we had to shut down the forge for an extended period of time. At this point, the forge has sat cold too long and has reached a point where it cannot feasibly be brought back online. There will be no more re-stocks from here on out and we will NOT be resuming production operations. Stock will be limited to what is available on hand.

INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS: (Other than CANADA), We will not be able to ship swords internationally at this time. USPS has contracted with a new air carrier and will reject all shipment of swords internationally.

SHIPPING AND EMAILS: We will be working on a reduced work schedule from here on out. Emails will be responded to once per week on Thursdays. Shipping for orders will go out once per week on Fridays. Our apologies for the inconveniences and thank you for your understanding.

Mokko Blade TestBlade testing video
VIDEO.

This is a quality control/destruction/torture test. Do not attempt.

The blade on the Mokko is through hardened to optimize the quality of the 1060 carbon steel. This is not to show the katana being able to go through the chair... but that the tip can withstand the force without bending, rolling the tip, or chipping the kissaki.

 


Our Blades are meant to provide an economical means of entry into the traditional Japanese sword martial arts by focusing on the fundamental requirements of a functional cutting katana.

Our founders are all practitioners of kendo and iaido and we practice with our own swords.

At our prices, everyone can afford to own our swords and be able to participate in our favorite martial art.
