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.
Absolutely highly satisfied with this product! It came within 7 days of ordering, I got constant updates on the location of the package, and I am happy to say it came in great condition. Very well made, excellent craftsmanship for the price. I would highly recommend this product, I will certainly be ordering from Truekatana again in the future. They've won my business.

First katana ever purchased. Very pleased with quality for price. It feels very solid and is sharp. Sleek and modern design. Arrived within a week of ordering. Saving up to buy another more expensive one.

It's a great sword. Gaurd is slightly wobbly and the inside of the sheath could have been painted black, but in general...... well done!

As soon as you see this katana, you understand that is such a great piece of art. But as soon as you take this sword, which we often see on TV screens, out of its sheath, you understand that the master blacksmith not only worked on it for many days but also put a bit of his soul into his work, which seriously lets you know the weight and shine of the manganese steel, playing with the rays of the afternoon sun.
