John Lee Kamakura Tachi Sword

The John Lee Kamakura Tachi is a stunning replica of the sword used during the Kamakura era in Japan, a time that was crucial in the country's history. This period was marked by the birth of the first military government and the widespread use of traditional Japanese weapons, such as the tachi, armour (yoroi) and the combat knife (tanto).

Unlike the katana, which is worn at the waist with the blade facing up, the tachi is attached to the belt by its bulwark and is worn with the blade facing down. This sword was specifically designed for use on the battlefield, so it is sturdy and built to last.

The John Lee Kamakura Tachi stands out for its simple, unadorned appearance, making it different from other later replicas that were often richly decorated and used only for ceremonial purposes. With its hand-forged blade made of hardened carbon steel, its handle wrapped in black silk, and its real ray skin, this sword is a stunning work of art. Furthermore, the typical ornamental details of a tachi, such as the tsuba, menuki, fuchi, and kashira, are based on historical originals.

The Wehrgehange (sword pendant) is also an impressive detail on this sword, with leather inlays and a high-quality 2-colour cotton Sageo. The sword comes with a printed cloth bag, a collector box and a certificate of authenticity.

As for the specifications of the John Lee Kamakura Tachi, it features a blade to Tsuba length of approximately 76 cm, a handle length of approximately 32.5 cm and a total length without scabbard of approximately 109 cm. The weight without scabbard is around 1240 g.
