Complete cleaning kit for katanas

If you own a katana, you know that keeping it in top condition is essential to maintaining its beauty and functionality. This traditional Japanese maintenance kit is specifically designed to help you preserve your sword using traditional methods, following the techniques used by generations of samurai warriors.

This complete katana cleaning kit includes all the items you need to ensure your sword's blade remains sharp, rust-free, and ready for any show or collection. The importance of preserving a katana lies not only in its aesthetic value, but also in its durability. The metal of the blade requires meticulous care to prevent corrosion and maintain its perfect edge.

Kit Features:

• 1x Uchiko Ball : This small tool contains stone powder, a fine material that will allow you to remove excess moisture and oil accumulated on the blade after each use. Using this powder is essential to ensure that the surface of the katana remains clean and free of residue that could affect its long-term condition.

• 1x Mekugi Nuki : This brass hammer is indispensable for removing the mekugi , the small bamboo pins that hold the hilt ( tsuka ) to the blade. Its compact design makes it easy to use without damaging the rest of the katana's components.

• 2x Mekugi : Includes two spare bamboo pins to secure the hilt of your katana. These pins, although discreet, are vital for the stability and security of the sword.

• 1x Special oil : This oil is formulated to protect the katana blade, preventing oxidation. It is applied in small amounts after cleaning with Uchiko powder, ensuring long-lasting protection and a shiny finish with each application.

• 2x Nuguigami : Two paper cloths used to dry the blade after applying the oil. They are designed to be cut to the size you prefer, allowing multiple uses with each one.

The entire set comes in a bamboo box, which not only protects the kit elements, but also maintains the traditional Japanese touch that characterizes this set. Bamboo is a strong and light material, ideal for storing this type of tools without adding unnecessary weight, making it easy to transport and store.

By using this kit, you are not only keeping your katana in perfect condition, but also following a thousand-year-old tradition of care and respect for weapons that symbolize the honor and discipline of the samurai. Each component of the kit is designed with a specific purpose, allowing even the most demanding collectors to rely on its effectiveness.

In short, this katana maintenance kit not only gives you the tools you need to protect your sword, but also connects you to an important part of Japanese culture. Properly maintaining a katana is an art in itself, and this set is created to do so efficiently, practically, and authentically.
