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.

Most buyable Ninja swords do have a straight blade in accordance to a typical hollywood production but not the John Lee Practical Ninjato. It is made in accordance to the historical information we have. While in its scabbard the Ninjato could not be differed from a normal Katana. But the blade was shortened, so that its owner was much quicker when pulling the weapon.
