This sword is based on a Japanese Ninjakana but with strong European flourishes. It's a great sword to practice Japanese sword drills yet tough enough to go up against steel armour and shields -  not quite fantasy, not quite historical, yet totally functional and fun to use. If you're looking to experiment with your swordsmanship, and you've an eye for something different, then this beautiful piece has our recommendation. 

* This system has been developed in Germany within the last 5 years, and is becoming quite commonplace in Europe now due to its various advantages. Rattles can be quickly fixed simply by tightening the key. and for more serious repairs this system is immeasurably easier than a peened over pommel when it comes to grip removal. Also, (interestingly) pommels can become interchangeable on swords. The allen key fixture is quite discreet: black in colour, right on the end of the pommel and sunk into it by about 3mm. This is a tried-and-tested system, and we're sure you'll like it. 

WARNING - flat edged swords are still dangerous, when in swordplay with an opponent follow established safety rules. A steel helmet and gauntlets should be considered as minimal protection.
