Thaitsuki Swords








Thaitsuki Nihonto swords are handmade, fully functional and "battle ready" Japanese Katanas best suited for practice, competition cutting and collecting. They are all fully capable of cutting makiwara (tightly rolled straw mats) and even a 5" thick bamboo with a single stroke. These Japanese Katanas, handmade by Thaitsuki Nihonto, are the highest quality traditionally made Japanese swords, made by the best materials and perfected. Thaitsuki swords have been made for professional collectors, Iaido/Iaijutsu, Kenjutsu, and other Japanese sword Martial Artists and are now being offered to the general public.


The Thaitsuki Japanese Samurai Katana Series keep true to the samurai code, "To strive for perfection". All Katanas produced by the family run Thaitsuki Forge are all handmade with the highest standards and attention to detail. All of their sword craftsmen and artisans have served for years in apprenticeship under the master sword smith, Mr. Sivarat. Each katana is made following the same traditional methods. From the perfectly wrapped Ito, to the handmade Kashira, Menuki, Tsuba and Fuchi, each piece is made from skilled craftsmen that specialize and take pride in their art. The Habaki, Menuki, Fuchi and Kashira are handmade from quality silver. The Tsuka is skillfully wrapped with high quality leather or silk and only genuine Ray skin is used. The Saya is crafted from hard wood then carefully lacquered and the Koiguchi is made from genuine black horn. The blade is hand forged from only the best High Carbon Japanese Steel and perfectly balanced. All Thaitsuki Swords come with it's own individual serial number and certificate from Thaitsuki Nihonto so you can trace it back to when and by whom it was made. Each katana is handmade and the fittings are handcrafted so no Thaitsuki katana will be ever be exactly alike. Each katana is it's own, one of a kind, work of art.
