Here you can select the characteristics of your Matsukaze blade, ranging from basic dimensions to the aesthetics of the blade.<\/h2>\n

A blade is the heart of your Katana. It’s shape, length and other aspects should be chosen carefully. We are limiting the amount of choices you have for the blade to some aspects currently. Other dimensions are left out from the configuration as they are a consequence of the choices you make. But of course, if you want a different Sugata (other than our standard Shinogi-Zukuri) please let us know and we will try to accomodate for your wishes. So, let’s get started<\/p>\n <\/div>\n

\n

Here you can select the characteristics of your Fittings: materials, patination, style etc.<\/h2>\n

The Tosogu are the metal parts on your Matsukaze (well, apart from the blade obviously): Habaki, Seppa, Fuchi & Kashira and Menuki<\/p>\n <\/div>\n

\n

Get a grip<\/h2>\n

In this step you will make your choice on the dimensions, materials and styles relating to the Tsuka (handle) of your Matsukaze sword.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n

\n

Here you can select the characteristics of your Katana’s sheath, the sageo-cord and the Fukuro bag.<\/h2>\n

The Saya, a beautifully crafted wooden scabbard, acts as both protection and showcase for the revered Japanese Katana. Each Saya is tailored to its sword, with careful attention paid to the lacquer finish and traditional adornments. Complementing the Saya, the Sageo serves as an elegant, woven cord that secures the scabbard to the wearer’s obi or belt. Rich in history and symbolism, the Sageo’s intricate design and color not only reflect the owner’s taste but also their rank and social status. Together, the Saya and Sageo embody the harmonious balance between functionality and aesthetics, capturing the essence of the Samurai spirit.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n

    The Nagasa is the length of the blade of a Japanese sword, such as a katana, measured from the tip to the base of the blade near the habaki (blade collar). It is an important measurement in swordsmithing, as it determines the overall size and balance of the sword. The Nagasa of a katana typically ranges from around 60cm to 76cm, with the average length being around 71cm. The length of the Nagasa is influenced by a number of factors, including the intended use of the sword, the preferences of the owner, and the traditions of the swordsmithing school. A longer Nagasa can make a sword more effective for cutting or thrusting, as it provides a greater reach and momentum. However, a longer sword may also be heavier and more difficult to maneuver, especially in close combat. A shorter Nagasa can make a sword lighter and more agile, but may sacrifice some cutting power.

    \n\n\nKeep in mind that there really is no standard size as swords should be tailored to the individual’s body and personal likes. Generally, the sword length is measured in the following way: Stand naturally erect and hold the sword’s handle just below the tsuba, allow your arm to hang comfortably along the side of your leg. Allowing the sword to rest point down, the tip of a correct length sword should barely touch the ground a few inches in front of the foot.

    \n\nTraditionally, we are measuring the length of the blade in “Shaku”. To convert cm to Shaku, simply divide the cm by 30,303.

    \n\nIf you are unsure about the appropriate length of your blade, please choose “advise me” from the below options and we will contact you to discuss the optimal length of your Matsukaze. <\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t
