Today, there is a pretty good selection of Assemble Yourself Katana Swords, including manufacturers such as Masahiro, Musashi and Kawashima. I think the whole concept behind the Assemble Yourself Katana is a great idea and I would recommend everyone own one and try for themselves!

Making your own sword gives you a deeper appreciation for what goes into making the sword as you get the opportunity to visually check and inspect all the components of the sword. The instructions for assembling the sword have a few of the basic terms used with Samurai Swords and will get you using some of the sword terminology. (check out our blog on sword terminology)
The sword comes with everything you need to put it together and you get a chance to really become a part of the sword. You may ask how does purchasing an Assemble Yourself Katana Sword classify as making your own training sword? These Assemble Yourself Swords are great for Tameshigiri or general cutting practices. The fact that you are able to put the sword together yourself and have the option to change the furniture on it and customize to your own taste makes it a sword that you are proud to be a part of. You would be surprised how much knowledge you gain from something as simple as putting together pieces that are sitting there ready for you. It is quite an experience and one that I feel we should all get to partake in. Due to all the process you go through, my opinion is that you are making your own training sword - and boy you will be proud of it when it is finished!
