Zatoichi the Blind Swordsman Weapon

This Zatoichi Sword is made to look just like the weapon of the blind swordsman in the long-running Japanese series of films and television show, Zatoichi's Cane Sword. The African rosewood has a warm reddish hue that hides the ultra-sharp blade within. Polished to a mirror-like surface, the blade is full tang and battle-ready. Just like the blade in the film, our shirasaya-style weapon is made through traditional Japanese forging methods to ensure the balance and strength of this fully functional weapon.

Handmade Samurai Sword Features

The master craftsmen at Swords of Northshire repeatedly heat treat the metal to remove impurities and improve the metal’s strength. They then clay temper the metal, resulting in more flexibility and a genuine hamon line along the blade.

  • Hand Polished & Sharpened
  • Hand Forged & Clay Tempered
  • Made of 1095 High Carbon Steel

FAQ

We pride ourselves on our top-notch customer service. We’re in direct contact with you regarding your order from start to finish. We also send pictures of the finished sword for your approval (and excitement!) before shipping. Other companies may accept orders and rush to fulfill them as soon as possible, whereas all of our swords are hand-forged and made to order by master smiths using the time-honored traditional Japanese & Chinese techniques. These swords are not fashioned on an assembly line; each is crafted with the care & respect the heritage deserves.

We refer to Japanese Quality to emphasize the difference from swords that are Made in China and of low quality & mass produced. All of our swords are fully handmade-to-order in the traditional way they have been forged for many generations. Many Longquan swordsmiths received their knowledge directly from Japanese forges; there is a rich history of information sharing between the two cultures. In these modern times, a Japanese Katana and a Longquan Katana are functionally the same.

Forever guarantee: We stand behind the quality of our swords. After your sword is created at the forge, we will send you pictures and will only ship after your approval. If at any time you have issues with the craftsmanship of your sword, please reach out to us and we will do our best to make things right.

Unless indicated otherwise, every sword is hand-forged and made-to-order for a high-quality & unique product created for you. This intricate process takes 3-4 weeks to complete. We’ll send pictures of your sword by email for confirmation (please whitelist sales@swordsofnorthshire.com to make sure you get our email). Tanto and wakizashi swords usually take around 4 weeks. Highly customized swords such as blades of a custom length or custom painted scabbards will typically take 4-5 weeks. For most orders, we estimate 4-6 weeks from the time the order is submitted to when you receive it. If you need a sword by a specific date or within a shorter time frame, contact us and we can see about prioritizing your order.

We ship to anywhere in the United States for free! For all other countries, we offer a flat shipping rate of $19.

Customers are responsible for customs taxes & duties.

Yes, you can customize every sword on our website. Even if you’re not happy with the existing options available to you, you can request just about any change you could think of. We can change most fittings, wrappings, and blade coloring (black, red, or blue) for free. These kinds of requests can be made in the order comments section during checkout. If what you need done is more complex and might cost extra, please contact us with your request. If you make a request in the comments section when ordering your sword and it happens to cost extra we’ll kindly follow-up and explain the cost difference and send an invoice for the cost if you’re happy with it.

The blade rattles in the handle slightly. The grip is too large for my hands and uncomfortable due to the ridges. The blade is nice how ever.

Zatoichi the Blind Swordsman Hand Forged Clay Tempered 1095 Samurai Ninja Shirasaya Sword I received my sword on a timely manner. They use SF Express for shipping and the timing is excellent; not like other places where you have to wait 3-4 months. They kept me informed of what was going on until I received it. The sword is superb, craftsmanship, cutting, balance, and fitting in the scabbard; all of high quality materials and well finished. I did some cutting and the sword performed very well with no dents, whatsoever. I am looking at additional swords in their vast repertoire and will get another one soon. It is worth the money.

Zatoichi the Blind Swordsman Hand Forged Clay Tempered 1095 Samurai Ninja Shirasaya Sword I waited close to a month for my sword to arrive. It was definitely worth it!! The heft..the feel of it....the quality of workmanship is excellent. Bryce and I communicated several times thru email and he was polite and professional. Lastly......I haven't done a "cut test"...but I can feel the edge with a light press of my thumb. Outstanding quality!!!!!
