Authenticity and Mastery in Traditional Japanese Forging
John Lee is one of the leading brands in the field of martial and collectible forging, specialized in the reliable recreation of samurai swords. Each piece responds to a strict commitment to historical Japanese techniques: hand-forged blades, differential water tempering, mountings with materials of natural origin and a balance designed for precision cutting and practice.
Traditional Forging
Blades made by hand with high quality carbon steels (1045, 1095 and folded Damascus steel), respecting curvature and functional geometry.
Royal Hamon Line
In its high-end models, differential hardening with clay generates a real temper line (*hamon*), guaranteeing a cutting edge and flexible spine.
Suitable for Practice
Optimized models with full tang (*nakago*) fixed with bamboo pins (*mekugi*), suitable for cutting (*tameshigiri*) or shaping (*iaidō*).
Finishes and Certificate
Mounted with authentic stingray skin (*same*), lacquered wood sheaths (*saya*), fabric covers and certificate of authenticity included.
The John Lee Standard: From History to Tatami
The range of products John Lee is divided into lines designed for different needs: from unsharpened swords (*Iaitō*) ideal for daily training in traditional martial arts, to fully sharpened katanas prepared for cutting tests on wet tatami mats.
The attention to detail can be seen in the hardware (*tsuba*, *fuchi*, *kashira* and *menuki*), inspired by historical motifs and made of treated metals. All swords incorporate long tang blades to ensure structural solidity and a balanced balance point that reduces hand fatigue.
