"The sword is the soul of the warrior. If any forget or lose it he will not
be excused."

Tokugawa Ieyasu

The courage and ability of the Samurai warrior is the stuff of legend. Incredible fighting skills, coupled with a sense of the aesthetic manifested in understated elegance. The code of Bushido demanded an elevated sense of honor, loyalty, and duty. This need for both function and asthetics reached it’s zenith in the Japanese sword. Phenomenol performance and exceptional beauty brought together to be used and cherished by men of honor. A samurai of noble character would never disgrace by misuse his blade, to do so would be to tarnish his soul. With the power of the sword came the responsibility to use it to keep peace in society. This is the legacy of the sword of the Samurai.
