Ordering Information
All Furuyama swords are considered custom order. This is done so that each swords fits the unique style and tastes of its owner. Custom Orders usually take 4 - 6 months for delivery. Please remember that each sword is hand forged and individually hand made to order. Delivery time will vary and 4 - 6 months is only an estimate. J-Armory does not know when an order will be completed or how an individual order is coming along. All we get is a notification that a batch of swords is on the way. We do not know which swords are in the shipment until we unpack and inspect the swords. After the swords have been inspected and matched up with the order, we will notify you that your sword has arrived.

All Furuyama Iaitos feature clay tempered steel blades (etched temper line) and a 2 millimeter rounded edge. The Iaitos are not sharp so that you can practice safely with the same weight and balance as the sword you actually cut with. The same options that are available for katanas are also available for the Iaitos.

We require half down at the time of order and the balance when the sword arrives in the US.  Please use the shopping cart feature to order a sword or use our order form. If you are placing an order by e-mail, just be sure to list the item, options, price, tax if in Texas, payment method (Money Order or Paypal), shipping information and contact information.
