Since many years the name John Lee is well known by collectors, sword-fighting artists and friends of japanese weapons. Inspired by historical swords each class of swords has its own philosophy. But they all have one thing: Quality!

* all blades are hand-made
* to guarantee highest stability all swords do have a very long tang which is fixed with 2 bamboo pins (Mekugi) – so all swords can be parted completely
* There are no synthetic materials used. The used material has to be authentic and of high quality.
* The handles and scabbards are made of wood
* All blade’s clamps (Habaki) and grommets (Seppa) are made of brass.
* Rayhide, sometimes blackened, is always laid underneath the traditional handle‘s wrapping
* All decorations (Tsuba, Fuchi, Menuki, Kashira) are made of metal.

All orginal John Lee swords do have a seal and a certificate. Furthermore each sword does have a protective covering made of fabric.

Forged Line: The line includes all low-priced beginner's swords. The sharpened blades are made of 1045 carbon steel and the inworked Hamon-Line creates an authentic look.

Besides the tradition of the Nôh theatre was founded in the 13th century it is still very popular in Japan nowadays. The Tsuba is showing typical Nôh scenes.
