Aikuchi is a form of mounting for Japanese blades in which the handle and the scabbard meet without a guard in between. Originally used on the koshigatana (a precursor to the wakizashi) to facilitate close wearing with armor, it became a fashionable upper-class mounting style for tanto (daggers) in the Edo period.
The product was way better than i expected, it has good weight and feels great and the handle is amazing

I could not be more pleased with my order of the pictured katana. First, the packaging was very well done. Order arrived in a styrofoam box wrapped in water proof yellow tape. Inside, the blade was in its scabbard (saya) which was in a clear plastic wrap for protection. Upon removing the blade, I found it inside of an oiled tubular plastic wrap for corrosion protection. Second, the scabbard had a beautiful, consistent coloration and was made of hardwood with gold fittings - classy. Third the blade - 5/16" thick at the crossguard (tsuba) tapering to 3/16" at the tip. The differential heat treating line was stunning. The blade was very sharp and the handle was also covered in clear plastic wrap for protection. What a great value - I will definitely be a repeat customer!

Hand Forged Medieval European Sword Manganese Steel Blade |
I bought 3 pieces quite close to Christmas. They arrived ON TIME, in overwhelming beautiful quality and perfection. I turned around as soon as I saw they were above and beyond legitimate, and ordered 2 more. My only hurdle, which may be my fault, was I found the same piece on 2 different pages one $118 sale, the other 159. I don't know if I needed to order each separately to get the discount at least on each item. But it's just not enough to complain? I still ordered 2 matching pieces to a Tonto that everyone is going crazy for as our last name is Wolf, AND it's a Tonto?
