Japanese Sword: A Great Piece For Any Home

A Japanese Sword is a wonderful decoration to add to any room of your home or office. Many people think that a samurai sword might look out of place in their home if their not Japanese or into martial arts.

That idea is beginning to change.

People who have no Japanese roots and are not necessarily into the martial arts are realizing that a nice Japanese Sword can add beauty to their home.

The Japanese Samurai sword can be a great conversation piece. What do you think of when you think of a samurai warrior. The first thing almost everyone says is "honor".

And it's true.

The samurai followed a strict code of honor and loyalty to each other and their cause.

Japanese Samurai Swords are becoming so popular that you can find a very nice sword no matter what your price. You can literally find a nice decoration Japanese Sword for under $100 all the way up to several thousand dollars. Many people are even buying sharpened, battle ready Samurai swords just to hang on their wall. Not intending to ever use it but just for the fine quality and craftsmanship. One of the most popular makers of quality samurai swords right now is Cold Steel. Cold Steel Samurai swords offer the collector a chance to get a quality sword at a great price. Most of the Cold Steel Samurai swords have all traditional parts and fittings. Many practitioners are looking for a sword that is a bit heavier than say a Paul Chen sword for the sake of cutting power. Cold Steel Samurai swords deliver a little more weight for that very purpose.

Cold Steel Samurai swords also make a beautiful decoration piece to hang on the wall as well as for use in the dojo. You will find a full line of Cold Steel Samurai Swords at our store. You can find us at http://www.japaneseswords4samurai.com/

Paul Chen Samurai Swords: What You Should Know

There are several reasons that Paul Chen Samurai swords are in great demand.

Fist and probably most importantly is that it’s very hard to find this high level of construction in an oriental sword for such a low price.

Most of the Paul Chen Samurai swords are forged using a traditional construction method called “differential tempering”. This means that the Ha or the edge of the blade is of a different hardness thank the Mune or back of the blade. So why is that important in a samurai sword? This is what separates Paul Chen battle ready Samurai swords from many swords. In plain English it means that the blade is more flexible than if this method was not used to forge the blade. A good samurai sword must have some flexibility to it or it will break in battle. Differential tempering makes it almost impossible for the Paul Chen swords to break.

The second reason why the Paul Chen Samurai swords are so popular with most of the Samurai swords except a few, the sword parts are authentic. For instance, many of the swords like the Shinto Katana feature premium Japanese cotton for the tsuka-ito. It’s very difficult to find a samurai sword with authentic fittings and parts at such a good price.

Another reason you should consider a Paul Chen sword is because of the light weight. Most of the battle ready Samurai swords weigh less than 2 lbs. A light weight sword gives the martial artist the ability to move faster with better precision because he has a sword of superb quality and light weight. Many other Samurai swords that are supposed to be comparable to Paul Chen swords weigh in excess of 3 lbs. You might not think that 1lb can be that much of a difference for the artist but it really is.

If you are in the market for a battle ready samurai sword a Paul Chen sword should be one of your first considerations. One of the most popular is definitely the Paul Chen Golden Oriole Katana. Weather you want a sword for dojo exercises or just to hang on the wall, you can’t go wrong with a Paul Chen sword, a sword that will last you a lifetime.

At Japanese Swords 4 Samurai we carry a full line of Paul Chen Samurai swords and you can rest assured that we have the one you want at a discount price. You can find us at http://www.japaneseswords4samurai.com/

Japanese Tanto Samurai Swords: Decorative or Battle Ready

Here are a few qualities to look for in a quality tanto sword. We suggest battle ready Samurai swords over wall hangers. Why, because the quality will always be better on a battle ready tanto sword than one that’s just for show. If a sword is to be used to cutting exercises it absolutely has have a blade that is full tang and have a blade that is made from high carbon steel or Sweedish folded steel.

If the blade is not made from at high carbon forged steel or folded steel then it’s most likely just stainless steel. Stainless steel is just fine for most knives but just won’t cut it (no pun intended) when it comes to a tanto sword that’s going to be used in the dojo.

Two very popular brands of tanto Samurai swords are Paul Chen and Cold Steel. Cold Steel, although an American company has most of their Samurai swords forged in China by trained smiths.

Katana Samurai Swords: Beautify Your Home or Office

Many people buy will buy a katana sword for decoration but eventually become fascinated with sword play that they end up signing up for a martial arts class and make use of their sword.

Among the 3 sizes of traditional samurai swords the katana has always been the most popular among collectors and martial artists alike. In addition to the katana sword there is also the Wakizashi, or short sword and then the tanto sword, about the size of a large knife.

When choosing a katana sword there are a few things to consider when deciding which sword is right for you? First will this sword be used in for cutting exercises or for display only? Don’t think that if you’re wanting to buy a battle ready sword that it cannot be used for display. As a matter of fact most people who buy a battle ready katana sword never do anything but hang it on their wall. Why would anyone buy a battle ready sword but never really use it? Simple, because collectors want a katana sword that’s high quality and often they like to know that if they ever wanted to use it for cutting exercises they could. So if you find a battle ready katana sword then you’ve also found yourself a sword that will be a nice display. On the other hand there are many decorative only katana Samurai swords that will look very nice in any home or office. The difference is the amount of money that you’ll spend and the quality of construction.

If you want a battle ready sword you need to choose one that has a blade that is made from high carbon steel or folded steel. Any sword that has a blade made from stainless steel should only be for display. Stainless steel blades are not made to stand up to the rigors of cutting exercises or combat with other Samurai swords. Some of the best quality battle ready katana Samurai swords you can find are forged by Thaitsuki, Paul Chen and Cold steel.
