FAQ
Who and where are you?
Our small team is made of people passionate for Japanese culture. We're all located in Europe, same as our warehouses, one of which is in the UK.
This way, we take care of all things customs, and our European customers can relax.
All our katanas are handmade to traditional methods, the design is ours and the choice of materials is updated continuously to follow the newest regulations and to constantly improve the quality of our products.
What does it mean when a product is on presale?
We design and produce our own products with Yarinohanzo, which means that all our products are made for us and by us, and they're exclusive.
In order to assure the best quality, we need to respect the times of production that traditional methods imply. On top of that, raw materials aren't always available in the necessary quantity and international shipping has become more slow and complex during the last year or so.
To sum up: our products are either
available for immediate purchase (in stock) with shipment depending on the country you're ordering from and on the shipment method you choose;
or
on presale, which means they are being made for you. If a product is on presale for the end of August, for example, it means it will be delivered by that date. We set that date with all possible delays in mind, but please consider that that may change due to unforeseeable circumstances.
Where's my order?
As soon as your order is shipped, you'll receive an email with your tracking number. You can use it to know where your parcel is at any time.
Delivery times may vary depending on preparation times, local holidays, weather conditions, logistics issues... Please always check the tracking before contacting us. If there are delays, let us know and we'll get in touch with the courier.
Also please notice that couriers won't often call you if they can't find you or your address, so make sure someone is at home and your address is easy to find.
Are the swords full tang?
Our swords are full tang unless stated otherwise.
What do shinken and iaito mean?
Blades can be sharp (shinken) or blunt (iaito). Which one you choose depends entirely on your needs, practice and experience.
