if you are in Penang, there is a shop that sells fully crafted katana. Another location to find katana is @ Batu Ferringhi tourist market in the night....

Hi I have a retractable baton something like in ELECTRA the movie. It colapses and has 2 protruding bars near the handle to shield of blade attacks. At a push of a button, the spring mechanism will thrust the baton into the full length in bout 1 sec. Total length is roughly about 1 feet +. Bout for RM100 in Parkson Mens Sports section in Subang Parade.... smile.gif

If you're talking about replicas, I got mine at Ke Log Shii while doing some holidaying in Penang. It's a double handle Kantana.

You need to bargain with them tho. Original price was RM160 and after some bargaining, it became RM100.

Pics below, enjoy. smile.gif

Katana's even the ones you buy direct from japan are never sharpened. They are intentionally left blunt. Also they come in 3's or 2's er.. yeah where's ur smaller one? I have a pair bought about hmm.. 8 years ago. Was a pain to bring into the country so m uch redtape, had to register with the cops, etc.

But i've heard you can buy knock-off's here in KL.

Double handed means you can hold the kantana by two hands, hence the longer handle. Also yes, the blade is stainless steel coated with a layer of oil. I think it's for easy sliding in and out. smile.gif

My replica comes with only 1 long kanata. It didn't come with the short one. I did saw a few short ones when I got mine but they cost another RM50 or so. Just one long kantana is good enough for me. biggrin.gif

If you have time to go there and have a look, there are many other types of kantana in different shapes and design as well. Oh, they got chinese swords too. tongue.gif

I think this is one of those Made in China products. The shopkeeper insisted that it is Made in Japan but I have my doubts. For me, it's enough because I just want it for decor purposes. smile.gif

Ya, the famous temple. Make sure you walk your way up there and bargain with them kau kau. sweat.gif

sigh...donno when i will have the time to go to Penang just for the sword unsure.gif

BTW, since it is selling publicly in front of the temple, then it is very much a "legal product" loh~~? laugh.gif

Well, there's some truth in what you said. Some people just dont buy it because of pantang. Like my uncle, a very superstitious person says that swords and dragons are not to be simply bought and worn / put for display.

CNY, i bought a samfu with 2 dragons on the chest. He told me to take it off right away, so I told him I'll go back home to change and never went back to his house again. I dont believe in these sort of things but older people does.

Replica is good, harmless to me. But if you get the real thing thats been used before like killing or hurting someone, who knows the spirit of the dead will come to your house? Sheeez... I wouldnt want that.

hey kltower4, u display ur katana sword incorrectly, u should store ur katana sword with the edge side up to prevent the edge from bearing on the scabbard. I don't think that should be a problem thought since ur sword is not sharped. Anyway nice katana u got there.

just got back from katana hunting at centeral market and i was very disappointed. there were two shops (upper floor) that sells katana replica, the quality is HORRIBLE shakehead.gif
the handle is made from solid white plastic. though it's wrapped in cloth trying to to look "real" but even a child will tell you that it's plastic. speaking of plastic, the sheath too is made from the very same cheap plastic (so cheap that i doubt that proton will use it in their cars). But they did a good job on the sheath by painting it black, and at first i thought it was wood until i look inside it.
furthermore, the gold trim is also a big disappointment. like those you'd find on RM10 toys sold at pasar malam.
lastly to comment was the blade. yes, it's stainless steel but it's no where the qulity of that in kltower4 pictures. it's so cheap that 'sekali pandang pun tiada selera.'
pretending to be interested, i ask for the price on those 'replica' and they gave me RM360 for a pair (same length) and display case best price. single katana is Rm250 before discount. I was like WTF!??! overcharging for cheap toys?
however i did saw an antique katana there on display. it's RM1700. according to the shop keeper, it's suppose to be the real deal. i didn't inspect that though since it's harta pusaka wink.gif

Hey everyone, wanna gather up and walk around Petaling Street searching for katana one day?

The toysnjoy website is nice. But ain't it located at US? Don't wanna do shipping for these...

Erm.. dude.. Isn't it 75.81 ringgit? Not 7.5k...
H@H@.. good.. edited tongue.gif

Rather cheap if you ask me though. Currently I am looking around for two plan looking swords.. Around the length of a wakizashi... Prefer bamboo shirasaya though..

there are some interesting budget katanas available on amazon.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0009QSSZ...lance&n=3375251

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000C0B33...lance&n=3375251

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000C09XX...lance&n=3375251

let me tell u that the katanas left over in malaysia since the japanese occupation are not worth the money. most of them were mass made during WW2 for the japanese soldiers and were of horribly crappy quality (not to mention neglected).

my parents finally gave the green light after days of "please" and me explaining to them the difference between a replica and a actual katana.

I'm getting myself a set of 3pcs set

and i can only piggyback one order only. the reason only one because i don't want to attract kastam's attention.

ed0gawa,
i can order only the Rurouni Kenshin: Katana Reverse Blade Sword for you. what's the reply from toys and joys?

Customs may allow u to pass through with little kopi money, depending on situation. Of course you must know one customs officer la. But the prob is when u wanna cross the border, or i shud say the customs compound guard house. There are a team of police there. Customs warehouse is not the border, the actual border is the police guard house outside. If the police dun let, they will ask u to bring it back into the warehouse n surrender to customs.

you cant bring in yourself the katana, you will have alot of trouble in custom and might ended up in Bukit Aman

unless you are dealing biz or organization that related to it and have permit letter ... or if you are some big shot or its child etc

if you really want to get one, goto martial art accessories shop and ask bout it

back few years ago, i know one master in msia selling for less then RM 2K for 1 new katana

Guys... anyone interested in getting replica katana?

Thru a seller in Lelong.. i sort of manage to get her to help me to import in Katana of our choice... but at BEST EFFORT. She is getting her stock from China..
She says she is willing to help us search for the katana we want... BUT NO PROMISE that she can find it.
No payment needed... biggrin.gif
Also prepare picture of the katana u wants (if she can't find the katana by using the name, she'll use the picture to find similar stuff)

Let's start it off

Let's assume she has lubang to get ALL ..... so we just bomb her with request.....
As for price... i bought a set of 2 pcs Katana with Dragon head handle.. it cost me RM110 only...

Quality wise = OK (no plastic)

We assume that her price for Katana would be around RM100-150 lo

yeah, ed0gawa we want stand as well...thanks for your effort notworthy.gif

this is the stand I have for my mini sword. See how it stands upright. Different from the horizontal stand. Anyway, I made up my mind. I want the wood handle katana. Please ask for me ed0gawa. If the shop can't get the good quality wood, then please just change for me to a simple black katana with reverse edge. Thank you.

Please inform me of the price too. I hope its within my budget. smile.gif

i remember seeing a shop in marina shopping centre in singapore that sells only katana.

nothing like those cheap plastic stuffs... it's high quality lacquer for the sheath type of katanas.

few types of katanas... samurai's, ninja's, you name it.

i didnt ask the price but i did ask about bring it back to malaysia and they said they dunno. sigh!

I bought a couple of katana at batu ferringi, penang last weekend. The price was RM170, after bargain with the seller become RM120. The quality is not bad at all.

Oh yea folks, I manage to find a website for you guys as reference. Really good katana you all must see.

Katana for samurai

I guess the unsharpened ones are not meant to be sharpened, and the quality of the metal is different. So if u sharpen it maybe the metal will spoil (rust and so on) esp those that u buy from batu ferringhi.. if i m not mistaken its solely for deco purpose only..

and like ijatz said the real katana is made from 2 kinds of metal, they mix it, so the "jisim" from one of metal can fill in into the "jisim" of another metal thus making it super sharp and much more stronger. I read this from somewhere long time ago..

katanas made before the world war are mostly hand-crafted, whereas those made during the war and post-worldwar are machine made cause its faster and cheaper to produce to equip the military. so that's y the pre-war swords are higher in value as compared to the the post-war swords.

another interesting thing about samurai swords are the cut test. in true iaido practise, those samurais/iaidoka will perform cut test on bamboos stacked together(normally). and from what i read, in the samurai days, they actually perform cut test on actual people (enemies etc..) shocking.gif

sorry for the long post, correct me if i m wrong cheers~

here's the review of the katana that can be bought at the kok lok shi temple.

the length of the whole sword is around 3ft plus and weighs around 2lb give or take. it's roughly the weight of the bar on those spinlock dumbbells or my parang ilang. first thing that strikes you is it's long and quite heavy. drawing the blade makes you gasp. it's shinny and has those waves and looks darn sharp (but isn't). not sure what the handle is made of (most probably wood) but the scabbard is wood. the caps are plastic though but looks like steel. the guard is metal and of course the blade too.

this is the picture of the handle still wrapped in plastic

this is the picture of the stand (katana-kake). it's a 3 piece snap on.

^ can pass off as metal to me. check out pic of the sword half drawn and compare the caps against the guard.

but if you pull out the caps (for whatever reason) and look inside you can see it's plastic (or maybe im just not that particular tongue.gif). i don't dare remove the caps on the scabbard end or the handle end - later kenot put back die. i only removed the one where the scabbard meets the guard.


but trust me, it doesn't look fake.

My father bought a set b4 from Japan using Amex membership...it was like 20 years ago and the quality of those compared to the one posted here from Penang is really diff.

One thing you must make sure is that you maintain the katana once in a while...dabbing with talcum powder and oil, that comes with the package just like what we see in samurai movies (i doubt those from kek lok si temples have the maintenance kit) If you dont take care of it, you'll have a very bad maintained katana. sweat.gif

hey, im not sure if this helps, but heres my info anyway.

im from penang and i know of a shop called Hobi Sports that sells swords. i used to go there to get my fishing gear and one day i went up to the upper floor and i saw a nice collection of stuff there. Katanas, english swords (ala King Arthur~) and a whole lot more. the price im not too sure though. but i have a feeling its a few hundred. oh, and theres bows and crossbows too.

abt the kekloksi one, im not too sure. i just go hiking there and the only thing that i can remember seeing in those shops are japanese opera masks (im not sure wat u call it). nice stuff, and who knows inside they might have ur katanas:)

i've cancled my order.
i've been exchanging e-mails with toys and joys for the past week and here's the conclution.
The cheapest courier with tracking is USD100 FedEx (1-9 working days)
Cheapest courier (without tracking) USD40 United States Postal Service (1-4 weeks)
spending RM380 on courier alone is crazy so i bail. I've calculated the landing cost and it's MUCH more expensive that those bought locally.

guess i'm back to square one tongue.gif

Its along Penang Road, at the Campbell street junction (traffic light).
The last time i went there (years ago) i saw a few fancily designed katana, one with a dragon head on the end. And from what I saw it looks almost the same as the ones sold in the US. Perhaps they got the same stock. Its kinda pricey too.

It should be of better quality than those sold in pasar malams, i guess.

can train using it but cant use it...and when u train, it is highly dangerous to do so..so gotta train with a boken...so it's only for display purposes. Hence why the need of a katana since it doesn't represent anything(power, strength, coolness,beauty etc)....

katana ... looks cool , but if you dunno how to wield it , it'll become a weakness if a robber breaks in ... maybe even accessory for murder biggrin.gif

my kendo sensei once showed us his naginata ... freakin long. but they train with that only for the movements , not for fighting.

it's a single handed katana (medium length). suppose to come in a matching pair, but the seller has one natural color, and the other black. both made from wood.

not easy bringing those stuff in bulk.
i'd recomend buying those stuff individually in small quantity to avoid any holdup at customs.

btw, i boutght mine from a flea market.

actually, there are a lot of so-called samurai swords selling in lelong.com, some designs are quite cool i must say. maybe somebody can arrange a bulk and we all can get it at a cheaper price?

Nothing fancy here.

This is a real practise katana. No fancy ribbon, just properly balance sharp blade for smooth slashing. laugh.gif

Btw, real stuff have no silver or gold or fancy ribbon, just dark or black color for cammo. Most real katana have 2 mode, norm display setup with the fancy stuff and during actual war, those part is been took off for 100% cammo. In fact, during ancient time the blade is purposely smear with dark color fat/grease to camo the blade more for assault purpose.

Also no reverse blade thingy. that only use in SamuraiX as big myth. The actual pulling out need the welder to pull it with sharp edge face top. Reverse blade will cut the welde's finger before fight... doh.gif

cheers.

If you have friends in Dubai or UAE countries, you can actually ask them to get you one. Even those axe or spear that looks like the one in Gladiator also got. All are unsharpen, and you can just tell the kastam its for decoration purposes, because they mainly are. But they are made with good steel and can be sharpen when you bring them back.

Ghee bringing back my memory when i hold out my katana and walk on the fire (firewalk) for my ninjutsu retreat ceremony. Now both of my katana rusty and collecting dust only.

by the way, when you display the katana, it is best to point the blade up. Samurai code for honoring the death coz by the katana. Well, whatever...

Hey guys,

Just asking for your opinion for the following katana (For those who have bought from Penang or this auctioneer). I came across it on lelong. Item is from Penang. Does it feel well built in your hands? Is it really sharp?

If you're talking about replicas, I got mine at Ke Log Shii while doing some holidaying in Penang. It's a double handle Kantana.

You need to bargain with them tho. Original price was RM160 and after some bargaining, it became RM100.

Pics below, enjoy. smile.gif

Sorry to say but displaying is just the only job it has, aka Wallhanger is what we called.
Even if you tried to sharpen it, it will not work. Cause 440 stainless steel is as soft as your daily used fork and spoon.
It can be bended with bare hand.

couldnt agree more. however, there is still some people will sharpen it. unlike full tang battle ready type which is slightly harder. but a real katana is much more expensive than this..

I don't really see the point of sharpening it lol.
Those so called "full tang battle ready" isn't really dependable as well, especially those made in China. (Of course I'm not talking about Paul Chen/Han Wei, they are China made but they are usable)
Unless it's branded, otherwise, don't even try to swing them around as you won't be happy when you see the whole blade with tang flew out of the handle, hopefully no one is around.

Of course..I myself have thought of ordering an Iaito(Practice blunt katana for Iaido training) from a company named "Jidai" in Japan, they are very expensive, one basic Iaito cost up to Rm 2k+.
Well..I was an Iaido student...But I was using Shinken instead of Blunt iaito..I fear for myself that I could made some serious mistake..So I tried ordering but just so you know, even the Iaito won't made it into Malaysia..A total let down.

I guess the only way I can practice Iaido is when I'm out of this ridiculous country.

Talking about a real Katana? Heh..You could say it's a dream of mine..
A Shinsakuto(Newly made Katana) with only bare blade cost around 10k - 60k(In fact more than this) depending on the blacksmith..Let's not forget about those mounting lol

i don't think so, iaito will be your most ideal piece for practice, since it's almost as good as a katana except it's un-sharpened.. those from KLS penang are purely wallhanger. any attemp using them might cause injuries. not worth the risk bro. i think you can only get iaito from import, that is if you manage to get it out from custom office.

just my dua kupang..

question here. if you buy a iaito.......what type of oil do you use to maintain it. heard that the normal cleaning kit for the Katana is not suitable. This is because it has a different type of steel. can anyone clarify this.

question here. if you buy a iaito.......what type of oil do you use to maintain it. heard that the normal cleaning kit for the Katana is not suitable. This is because it has a different type of steel. can anyone clarify this.

Hi FreeFall,

All katana blade uses Choji Oil. Choji Oil is very simple to make. Its 98% Mineral Oil + 2% Clove Oil. Mineral oil can be Singer Sewing Oil. Clove oil, u need to buy it. Mix them all up, you have Choji.

i don't think so, iaito will be your most ideal piece for practice, since it's almost as good as a katana except it's un-sharpened.. those from KLS penang are purely wallhanger. any attemp using them might cause injuries. not worth the risk bro. i think you can only get iaito from import, that is if you manage to get it out from custom office.

just my dua kupang..

Clove oil can go to chinese medicine shop they sell them. As for Mineral oil the closes resemblence is Singer Sewing oil but if you can but high quality ones from Ace hardware or hardware stores would be better.

I do have some blades to let go. if your interested. email me at addyngo@gmail.com

Is it legal to keep a Katana? Don't you need a license for it?

I remember when I was very small there's a weapon shop in Johor Bahru Holiday Plaza where they sell Nunchucks, Swords, Sais, you know those you see in Ninja Turtles. Real Stuff man!

BTW other than blunt/sharp, what other difference between Replica and real Katana? If it's only blunt i don't mind i can always sharpen it.

So come on any professional shops that sell them at reasonable price?

Technically, it is illegal to own any assault weapons in Malaysia but Unsharpen/blunt ones are normally known as Decorative sets and deemed harmless so the authorities will not be too strict with it. Nevertheless, Carrying any objects that looks like an assault weapon and possesses a scare to te public safety is still illegal. So a summary will be NEVER TO SHOW your blade off in the public eye and should always keep in it house to avoid any unseesecary matters.

A Replica Katana looks exactly like the real thing (of course it has to be a high graded katana) the difference are normally.

1. How the Blade is made as the real katanas are 100% hand made. Replicas maybe machine made or 1/2 manmade 1/2 machine made
2. the compound of the steel but nowadays due to technology you can still fine very high end steel compounds for katana but will not be cheap.
3. if the Hamon is etched or natural. Hamon is a Japanese word. Google it as i dont know how to explain it tongue.gif

Nowadays, there is no such thing as a real katana unless its an antique or its worth RM10K or more with a certificate to authenticate that it is handmade. So the only thing to look for is
1. the Compound of the steel.
2. the hamon, it should tell you if the blade edges are harden or not and also how the blade is roughly made.

Professional shops? Dude, Shops are the ones that will slithe your throat as they need to pay for bills/rents, so dont hope to see cheap stuff in shops unless they are like tesco or carrefour that buys and sell in bulks. Besides, its Malaysia, and base on the law, selling it publicly is still illegal.

And as for sharpening your Katana, its a NO NO. Never ever sharpen your katana unless you know how to do or unless you are not intending to use it for practice because a wrong geometry of the katana will cause the cutting to fail and by sharpen your katana the incorrect way, you actual spoils the Hamon and cause the blade to expose itself to the air which will rust the blade.

Oh... did i mention that GOOD KATANA blades rust? blush.gif because of the compound "carbon". exposure to sweat and air and not wiped will rust the blades.

Lastly, for many of us who likes katana but dont know the law, this was what i found

ACT 357
Corrosive And Explosive Substances And Offensive Weapons Act 1958 (Revised - 1988)

SECOND SCHEDULE - (Sections 2 and 12)

1. Any knife, sometimes known as a "flick knife", which as a blade which opens automatically by hand pressure applied to a button, spring or other device in or attached to the handle of the knife.

2. Any knife, sometimes known as a "gravity knife" which as a blade which is released from the handle or sheath thereof by the force of gravity or the application of centrifugal force and which, when released, is locked in place by means of a button, spring, lever or other device.

3. Any whip manufactured from bicycle or motorcycle chains, or from any similar kind of chainwork.

4. All kinds of knuckleduster.

5. Any blade or other instrument attached to or forming part of a bicycle pumpu, metal pipe or stick, and concealed therein, which is capable of being used for cutting and stabbing.

6. Any knife-like instrument with three sharp edges and a sharp pointed tip, sometimes known as a "bearing scraper".

7. Any small axe normally used as a weapon and commonly known as "kapak kecil".

8. Any sword, kris, parang or other knifewhich on any part of it is written, embossed, inscribed with or which otherwise bears any verse, word or character conected with or relating to any religion or belief.

9. Any sword or parang which is normally meant to be used as a weapon and not as an agricultrual implement or household or garden tool.

10. Any spear or spearhead.

11. Any crossbow.

12. Any Patrolite, Stun Gun, Taser, Control Club or any such similar instrument, device or equipment operated by battery or electricity or any form of power.

For education purpose with no intentions to harm feelings, Go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stainless_steel

All the 440, 420, stainless steels are all STAINLESS STEELS due to high amount of Chormium compound. High amount of chromium makes a steel stainless (less corrosive), hence Stainless steel. Carbon is what makes steels so all steels are called carbon Steels. To exactly identify them, bladesmiths categorise them into

* Mild (low carbon) steel: approximately 0.05–0.15% carbon content for low carbon steel and 0.16–0.29% carbon content for mild steel.Mild steel has a relatively low tensile strength, but it is cheap and malleable; surface hardness can be increased through carburizing.

* Medium carbon steel: approximately 0.30–0.59% carbon content. Balances ductility and strength and has good wear resistance; used for large parts, forging and automotive components.

* High carbon steel: approximately 0.6–0.99% carbon content. Very strong, used for springs and high-strength wires.

* Ultra high carbon steel: approximately 1.0–2.0% carbon content. Steels that can be tempered to great hardness. Used for special purposes like (non-industrial-purpose) knives, axles or punches. Most steels with more than 1.2% carbon content are made using powder metallurgy.

Ancient katanas are made from Medium Carbon Steels on the outside forged with HIGH or ULTRA High Carbons folded into the inside. This gives the blade tip hardness when you slash and bouncing softness on the outside when you defend and block.

With technologies nowadays, Katana Blade Steels may not needed be folded or forged base on tranditional methods already for Mono steels (a new technology) are as strong as any other forged steels. e.g. Victornoix, J&K Kitchen knifes. infact, some mono steels are so strong, the traditional ones just breaks upon battle combat.

So, in simple summary, if Katana blades are made from Carbon Steel, 1st thing 1st is ask, Which grade of carbon steel is it? Low, Mid, High or Ultra High. The higher the scale, the more expensive smile.gif 440 (low Carbon Steels) comes in 4 grades. 440A, 440 B, 440C and 440 F. Entry level should be 440C anything else is not advisable as its as good as a display unit only. Even said that, i dont recommend practising with hard objects with 440C steel because we dont know if the steel compounds are made with EXACT precision as anything more or less by 0.1% can cause chaos. hence a certificate is preferrable to understand the percentage of steel compound used in it. Unfortunately, thats what you can get in Malaysia for no one is willing to import any Mid or High carbon steel blades due to the price and customs issue. (it will be another long story on why customs would give problems when importing them).

As for full tang battle ready, what it means is that,
1. TANG means the grip conforms to the shape and follows the outline of the tang, which is a solid piece of metal. It is a single piece of metal from tip to base but the hilt/handle is usually encased. The handle may be affixed to the tang with rivets or pins. A full tang generally implies a tough and durable sword hilt / handle. This method of production means that the sword is stronger as it is a solid construction rather than a blade fixed to a base which can come off through wear or contact.
Looking at the diagram user posted image a full tang is when the handle is inserted, the nakagoriji should reach somewhere at the end tip of the handle base.

2. Battle Ready just means is sharpened.

Another point for you to ponder about is that the harder the steel is, the more brittle it gets. thats how nature works (too bad) thats why traditional katanas are made with foldings (hard on the inside, soft on the outside). So do you want a blade that is Super hard but breaks when it cannot resist a strong blow or a blade that is is soft but will chip and flatten upon combat but does not break easily?

Should i made a wrong statement, do correct me. this is my findings from the numerous leisure studies on steel, owning the blades and sharing my knowledge (more like stealing knowledge) with ironsmiths.

but if you wanna know more, lets chat. I dont mind sharing knowledge. You may know something i dont biggrin.gif

Everyone one here loves Katana because the title of the topic is "KAtana" hence it will more or else be talking obout Katanas

Some wanted it for practise, some wanted it for display, some wanted it as a form of Japanese Arts & culture, some wanted it for k!lling & some wanted it for collection purposes.
I want it for all the above except K!lling or harming anything alive.

Everyone has their own perspective of why they wanted it; its like asking "why do you like your partner and not have a cow as ur partner instead?" hmm.gif (just a metaphor) unsure.gif

Declaring it as personal use/servenir/antique at the customs post will not work. Trust me, i just lost my USD400+ katana to the customs by declaring it as gifts. They will inspect, call you up, tell you to go to KLIA customs check then tell you that it's illegal and say it will be confiscated unless you have a police clearance which is somewhat known as a weapons license and there is no way you can get it unless you are rich or is a dato.

all the "if you are a sensei in Kendo you can get it into malaysia" is a BS because he too will need to have a police clearance which by definite is easiler to get then a noobie collector but being a sensei does not mean you can take them into malaysia.

Hi Unrealweapon,

I never watch Manga Vagabond hence im not familiar with what Katana he uses but a Miyamoto Musashi is a famous Japanese samurai who discovered the art of swordsmanship call of The Book of Five Rings. He also has his own Katana tsuba signature which is as shown below.

As Katana is not that legal, getting it off the streets are a little diffcult. Since u r in Malaka. Jonk Street has an old man tat sells low graded replicas and high price. you can try it there if you want to. As i am a collector, i may be able to find 1 but will need time.

PM me if you are interested.

Hi there,

It is not a katana. Your picture shows a Bokken (Pronounce as "Bok Kun" or wooden stick) . A bamboo version is call Shinai.

Depending on where you are its not illegal.. u can get it in any martial art shops. Let me know where you are located.

a Shinai

well most sports shop sells bokkens. Shinai needs to be ordered.. And boy its not cheap. If you are looking for low grade wood Bokken, Jonker Street has it for 12 - 15 ringgit. KL wise, medium grade ones can be found in some Royal sports shop.

If you cant find it let me know. I got someone that supply it.

Ah... you want a bokken. Low grades are easy to find. Melaka Jonker and Royal Sports in Shopping centers will have them. High grades are hard to find. Good Luck on that.

Hi, I got one new katana for sale. This is a functional sword made of carbon steel with a nice tsuba, heat tempered hamon, weighs about 1.2kg and overall length of 105com. Very sharp. If you're interested, PM me and I'll send pictures. Reason I'm selling is because my wife only allows me to keep one in the house while the other has to go. Going price is RM210.

Thanks.

hi guys, just a soft reminder...

katana is a scheduled weapon under the Corrosive, Explosive and Dangerous Weapon Act 1958.

if you guys carries it around at public places, selling it in public places, its a seizable offence, meaning can get caught.

punishment: prison not more than 3 years.

so, jaga-jaga, cause its also a non bailable offence. (meaning, kalau u kena tangkap, polis terus charge you in court only. hanya thru mahkamah sahaja boleh jamin you all)...

wont want anybody get caught by this type of offence...

does that mean if we do not bring it in public it wont matter?
(like collecting it in private area, homes , etc)
anyway who says petaling street dosent sell katanas
theres lotsa them in central market
but with stupid prices, bad bad quality
if u're a collector u know it
if u still going to collect that kind of quality things means u're still noob
by the way, japan dosent permit thier registered katana to be exported that easily,
unless u have some rank in kendo or kenjutsu and is a sensei
dont be fooled if someone tell u he is selling a katana from japan and is registered
its probally from china

Sorry if this has been asked before, but will Customs give me trouble if I were to ship an ornamental katana (dull blade but otherwise looks the part) from overseas? I'm shipping home some personal effects that a friend was keeping for me, and it suddenly occurred to me that my katana might not be allowed into the country. Much as it pains me I'd rather the katana stay with my friend, where I know it'll be safe, rather than risk it being confiscated and left to rot in a Customs warehouse.;_;

To get a registered katana from Japan would probably cost around the range of RM10k if from awell-know master and high number of folds. Paul Chen's katanas are already very good and already very pricey.

For those collectors who buy solely for ornamental purposes, I wouldn't blame them for buying from central market. That is what they wanted. To them it is a decoration meant to sit in a cupboard. They probably don't know what is a full tang.

By the way, anyone knows where to get choji oil? Mine's going to run out soon...

why dont you make you own choji oil ?
i saw some website teaching people to make it
and if u're in malaysia... better import rather searching for it in malaysia
coz katana's in malaysia are all mass produced from china, with low quality stainless steel
they dosent need to be oiled

Hi, do you guys know how much a wooden katana (80cm-100cm) costs in Malaysia and where can you find them?

I know there're a lot in Jonker Street but I've never been there myself and I'm not sure about the length. Anyone bought any wooden katana before?

there was a shop called "little china" in petaling street that sells ok-quality wooden swrod
(i wouldnt call it a wooden katana as it dosent comes with tsuba)
RM9 for one... well no need to surprise as it is mass produced...from china
so i bought one home for swinging around... and to replace any broken bokuto
its surprisingly quite durable ... survived until now ,gone through lots and lots of brutal hits
anyway when i wanna go back and buy one... the shop is moved away

as for those you see in jonker streets and central market, i think they have the same quality as they looks exactly same
anyway they raise the price up to RM27~45 due to there is no one to compete the price
and to cheat newbies that loves these stuff alot but dont know where to get one

Difference Between Japanese Katana & Korean Jingum



The Koreans did adopted the Japanese katana as one of their own weapon. However, if I may to give certain insight. The Korean Jingum although may look similar at glance, there are certain differences such as

1. Curvature, Korean Jingum is less curved than the Japanese Katana
2. Its blade is slightly wider than the Katana
3. The blade tip of the Jingum is most often shobu-zukuri while the Japanese Katana tend to use Shinogi Zukuri

The Koreans might have adopted the katana perhaps during the Imjim Waeran, when Korea was invaded by Japan in 1598.

WIth the expansion of Korean Sword art, More jingums are in production to meet the demand of the Korean Sword practitioners. The Koreans adopted a lot from the Chinese from the sword making method and even design. There are Korean Jian too. It is interesting to see if other culture adopted other culture which produces interesting combination.

to register, u need a proper reason to own one real katana
and ofcourse, prepare money ==(lots of them)
but why the hell do someone wants to go through this lot of trouble to keep 1 sharp blade?
just blunt it ,save lots of trouble

try to deal with d seller personally to get ship it there. mybe it cost few but its worth.

u can get choji oil from lelong.my. i juz got from there.

p/s: the items r not sold in everytime. mybe in 1 week or 1 month per item. its a tactic to d seller to get high bid. juz being a silent bidder(bid in last minute).

Malay Version Of Katana



Pedang @ Sundang as a Malay weapon


In Malaysian the Pedang @ Sundang is the only two-edged sword of any importance, The straight one-edged sword with blade or even width is called the Malay peninsular Chenangkas and in Jawa Lamang. A heavier, two handed sword is called Berandal in Borneo where it is most usually found. The Chinese and Japanese two handed sword is know as Jenawi.

Some chenangkas have a metal cross piece at right angles to the axis of the hilt, perhaps to prevent the hand sliding up the hilt when the weapon is wielded by wrist pressure. Some are undoubtedly of recent manufacture and may be fakes.

Of the greater interest, and usually of finer workmanship too, is the curved sword known to the Malay as Shamsir. This term is strictly applicable to only to the curved saber or scimitar of Persian origin. The Indian shamsir or tulwar is a cross-hilted sword. The hilt is usually of brass, sometimes of iron or silver, with pommel at the end to prevent the hand slipping when drawing cut is made. The pommel is large and hollow for lightness’ sake so that the balance of the sword is not upset.

Real battle ready swords and Katanas are illegal to keep, carry without proper license. but you can keep a replica without any problem. I have a collection of replicas. and I do take photos with them too.

Well I own several types of edge weapons. From a battle axe, combat knife, chinese broad sword. and throwing knifes, however i'm lacking a katana for my arsenal stack.

Well i'm in Penang i seen some up at batu feringgih night market but those are like the concealed ninja knifes (40cm including handle). Looking for a nice long katana. Anyone around can give some suggestions? will be grateful for the search tips.

i saw some website teaching people to make it

coz katana's in malaysia are all mass produced from china, with low quality stainless steel
they dosent need to be oiled

yup.. u r rite.
all sell in malaysia is only replica and the still is not high carbon steel and i may not strong enough like they made in Japan.
i got mine strait from japan... blunt of course(only few mm on the edge not sharpen, the sparpen master are really skilled in doing this)
it did go throught many procedure before it reach my house, plus registered etc... It really a pain in d ass but it got mine.
mine just a normal practikal black katana, hand made from small shop in Osaka.. cost for the Katana already 4k++.
unfortunately, this dun have any certificate.
looking foward to but a new set of katana that have certificate from the maker.
This may cost 20k++ for a tsuba.

Katana Made in China : " A Peek Behind the Bamboo Curtain "



In this Article, Chris Scoggin from Ronin Katana has a candid talk with one of the senior smiths at a Longquan based Chinese forge. An extremely eye opening and revealing behind the scenes look at what goes into making low to medium cost functional Katana in China today.

INTERVIEW WITH A CHINESE KATANA MAKING FORGE

Chris From Ronin : How are your smiths and polishers trained?

The Forge : Mainly from the old and famous swordsmith. And then develop by the help of books and the web.


Chris From Ronin : What do you mean by " old and famous sword smith " ?

The Forge : Yes, they are trained. As you may know, in China, if you want to learn how to make swords, you must find a famous sword smith and beg him to be your master worker. If he think that you are proper and honest, he will agree, then you must learn it for 3 years. During this period of time, you must work hard and learn everything. If you study and work hard, the master will teach you the secret and real and useful skills, if you are not, he won't teach the secret and complexed skills, otherwise, you will effect his reputation.

So once the pupils work hard and finished learning three years, he must have learned all the skills. He knows everything, if we employ a smith, we must test him to see if he is skilled. Of course, during the work, he will improve a lot by meeting the customers' request. There is a sword association in this city, they have regular meetings to communicate each other. By this way,the tradtional skills are kept.

Chris From Ronin : Are any of your smiths considered Master Smiths ? Do they have apprentices ? At what age can a person become an apprentice ? Can a woman become a sword smith ?

The Forge : Yes, there are two smiths considered master smiths, it is awarded first by the city, then by the province, now they are studying hard and applying for the national awards. It will take about 15 years when the final award is issued. They have appentices.


Chris From Ronin : At what age can a person become an apprentice ? Can a woman become a sword smith ?

The Forge : Once a person is over 18 years,he can be an apprentice. For the moment, no women become a sword smith, for forging need hard work..


Chris From Ronin : How do you train your sword smiths ?

The Forge : There is an association for swordsmith, also cooperate with the university, they helped us a lot in the skills.


Chris From Ronin : Can you explain what the association is ? When was it founded ?

The Forge : It is Longquan sword association, only the famous sword smith and companies can become a member. It was founded at the beginning of 1990, when the govenment made the effort to promote this traditional skills.


Chris From Ronin : How many members does it have ? How exactly do they help you ? What is the name of the university ?

The Forge : At present, it has about 80 members. We are finding a way to cooperate with the university and want the university help us in designing and overtake the problems for breakage during forging, for they know the ecense of each steel, there is a project is applying, hope it will approved soon, that is find an easy way to forge tamahagane steel. The University is Zhejiang University.


Chris From Ronin : Have you sent any of your smiths or polishers to Japan for training ?

The Forge : No, they won't teach you the real skills, can do it after study the real samples. We have much experience in them, easy to learn and study.


Chris From Ronin : Are the blades you study made in Japan ? Are they older, pre-war blades ?

The Forge : Yes,some of the blades are made in Japan,some of them are made by Paul Chen,we have samples in our showroom.Some of the blade is older,for samurai blade,not so old,the Chinese sword blade is much older,more than 1000 years.


Chris From Ronin : Have you studied the blades of any famous sword smiths ? Which Japanese sword smith has most influenced the smiths at your factory ? When studying a sword, have you ever had to cut it in half to study the layers ? If so, how many swords, and were they older swords ?

The Forge : We do not know the Japanese sword smith name, for the handle is rusted. We cut the blade in many parts to test the steel type, hardness and flexibility by the help of the university, they have the instuments. We do not have the chance to cut the older sword, for they are expensive and hard to get it. As you may know, Japanese learn making swords from China in Chinese Tang Dynasty, so it is easy to find the secret of the blade.


Chris From Ronin : How long does it take to forge a sword blade ?

The Forge : Depend on the material and lamination of the blade, from 1 or 2 hours to 10 days.


user posted image



Chris From Ronin : Which lamination method takes the longest ? Which lamination method is the most popular with your customers ?

The Forge : Soshu Kitae lamination takes the longest time,and it is the most popular for the customer, but for it, Hon Sanmai and Kobuse are also popular.


Chris From Ronin : Does lamination produce a higher quality blade than a blade that has just been clayed? Is it possible to laminate and blade and then water quench it (through harden it) without claying the blade? Is that type of blade safe to use in a dojo against targets like bamboo?

The Forge : If a blade is forged with laminated blade, it will have a good hardness and flexibility. For the laminated blade, it must be clay-tempered and water quench, otherwise, the hardness is not good. That type of steel is the best for dojo and cutting test.


Chris From Ronin : Does your factory water quench (through hardened) only 1045 and 1060 steel, or do you also water quench 1095 steel?

The Forge : We harden our blade by water quench, for 1095, it still need water quench. 1095 is be idea steel for clay-temper, not so hard when forging, and can become the hardest one after clay-temper.

Chris From Ronin : How often does a blade crack in quenching ? What do you do with the cracked blade ?

The Forge : It usually will be cracked, that's why the price is much higher than others. At present, since we make many pcs per year, the temperature is controlled well, not so many pcs to be cracked as before. The cracked ones are useless.

Chris From Ronin : In your opinion, which type of blade is stronger against harder targets like bamboo ?

The Forge : In my opinion, for cutting practice, carbon steel 1060 will be the best steel. For martial practice and martial cutting test, the laminated blade will be the best, for they are hardest with good flexibility.

Chris From Ronin : Tamahagane blades are very expensive to make. Does your factory make the tamahagane the same way the Japanese do ? How long does it take to make one tamahagane blade ?

The Forge : Yes, we make the tamahagane the same way the Japanese do. It will take about 25 days to make one blade, it usually takes much more time in polishing.

Chris From Ronin : What are your quality control methods ?

The Forge : Internal traditional one, are applying for ISO for we are building our new company, then it will meet the modern requirements for authentic.

Chris From Ronin : I don't really understand your answer, could you explain it a little better. What is an ISO, and what are you building? Does this involve new equipment ?

The Forge : We have an inhouse quality control system. Each procedure is strictly inspected, For ISO, it is the international quality control system. When it is approved, the quality will be guaranteed. The new company is finished, we arrange for production in details, all the procedures are recorded by computer.

there's no such thing as katana lesson/class.. but you can enroll in Kendo class. Kendo is the sports of swordfighting http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kendo

but in kendo u use wooden/bamboo sword instead of real katanas. wooden katanas is called bokken, is another training equipment for sword skills.

BTW i sell katanas, wakizashis and the works... real ones, not some cheapo replicas. google these brands: United Cutlery, Cold Steel and Cas Hanwei.

But real ones are not cheap.

real katanas costs upwards from USD 5000 in japan. so if you buy cheap replicas, dont expect them to work like one.

The art of sword fighting is Kenjutsu (Sword styles, during the samurai period), but nowadays Kendo(the way of the sword) is more common as kendo emphasizes not only in killing your enemies, but also in moral values.

I think you can only find kenjutsu in Japan (like Tennen Rishin-ryu)





BTW, can anyone recommend me where to get a replica set of katana and wakizashi? Might wanna use it for cosplay

Stumbled upon this thread last night, Just went through my stuff, a katana that I bought 2 years ago still in perfect condition. It's china made, seller claim using damascus steel 1090, just oil it, slice paper easily like using cutter slicing paper. Damn sharp.

Hi guys, i was just wondering. Can i buy dull katana (未开刃) from taobao and ship it here? Is it legal and can it go through the custom? I really wanted one and i dont need it to be sharp because i might wanna start learning Iaido after CMCO.
