samurai sword warranty - examples of misuse

In general, these are all activities except for traditional chopping test techniques, which involve chopping into special mats.

- Cutting branches, trees and bushes: for this activity people have developed other tools such as axes or machetes.

- Chopping, or swordplay with another sword: destructive damage to the blade of a samurai sword - samurai avoided any direct contact with the enemy to avoid damaging the blade. The repair was long and expensive.

- Never wear a sharp samurai sword with the blade exposed in public: Always keep your sword in the Saye (scabbard). In Germany and other EU countries, this is even an obligation prescribed by gun law.

- Never insert a dirty blade into the Sayi: If you are performing chopping tests on fruit, clean and preserve the blade immediately after chopping, otherwise the blade will rust and oxidize.

- Never leave your sword in a damp place such as a porch, shed, cellar or conservatory: This is certainly not the treatment this traditional weapon deserves. Always clean the blade after use, brush with oil and store the sword in a dry place.
