Anime Replica of the Kusanagi Chokuto

Anime Replica of the Kusanagi Chokuto with Painted Wooden Scabbard

A Fusion of Japanese Tradition and the Anime World

Although this sword is globally famous through Japanese pop culture, its shape is based on actual historical weapons. Typologically, it is a so-called chokuto, an ancient Japanese straight sword with a single edge that was widely used before the invention of the classic curved katana. The style of mounting completely without a handguard (tsuba) and with the hilt (tsuka) flowing seamlessly into the scabbard (saya) is called shirasaya. Historically, this inconspicuous style was primarily used for the safe storage of blades during times of peace, not for open combat on the battlefield. In the anime world, however, Sasuke's Kusanagi can cut through almost anything thanks to his masterful control of chakra.

Important Safety Information and Proper Use

This sword is designed exclusively as a decorative item and a collector's replica. Due to the shirasaya mounting (the absence of a solid handguard) and the construction used, the weapon is under no circumstances intended for practical use. It is absolutely not suitable for cutting tests (tameshigiri), contact fencing, martial arts training, or any form of duelling. Any hard impacts against obstacles could lead to severe damage to the sword and present a massive risk of injury. Use it purely as a stunning display prop or a stylish cosplay accessory, always exclusively at your own risk and mindful of the safety of those around you.

Caring for Carbon Steel and Painted Wood

The foundation of the sword is a blade constructed from carbon steel, which, while strong, is naturally susceptible to rust from air humidity. To maintain its flawless appearance, it must be treated regularly. After every draw from the scabbard or accidental touch with your fingers, wipe the steel with a clean, dry cloth and apply a thin layer of high-quality gun oil or conservation oil. The painted wooden hilt and scabbard do not require complex maintenance; if they get dusty, simply wipe them gently with a dry or very slightly dampened microfibre cloth. Strictly avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as they could irreparably damage the painted Uchiha symbol.
