The crafting of John Lee swords

John Lee samurai swords are made from high-quality, authentic natural materials. No plastic is used in the making of these unique weapons. The parts that make sure that the sword stays in the scabbard (habaki and seppa) are made of brass, the scabbard and grip are made of wood, the traditional handle wrapper is lined with ray skin, and the decorations (tsuba, fuchi, menuki, kashira) are made of metal.
