MLC Enterprises has been serving folks like you since 2003. Samurai Swords 4 U is a spin off from the highly sucessful Excalibur Brothers website. Excalibur Brothers started with and still mostly sells stainless steel knives and sword replicas. Stainless steel offers great advantages for the sword collector who only wants to display their sword as stainless steel requires very little maintenance and is highly rust resistant. While extremely useful in knives, stainless steel tends to become prone to breakage in blades over 24 to 30 inches and is not suited for sword cutting use.
True sword collectors and/or martial artists want or need a fully functional sword. One that won't break easily when used. (No blade is indestructible) For a sword to be fully functional you need a higher quality steel such as high carbon steel, japanese folded steel, damascus steel or swedish powdered steel. These swords do require regular maintenance to prevent them from rusting just like in ancient times. It may be this is where the term "Getting Rusty" comes from as an older warrior's sword would often become rusty as he settled down, stored his sword and didn't keep it maintained.
Research and experience also reveales that those seeking higher quality swords such as yourself don't want to waste time and energy checking descriptions and pictures to determine if what they see is fully functional or a diplay replica. For this reason Samurai Swords 4 U was created. With the exception of our Movie Replica and Fantasy product lines all the samurai swords found at Samurai Swords 4 U are fully functional, high quality and hand forged by experienced sword makers who have apprenticed under some of the most qualified sword makers in Japan. You'll find top brands such as Cold Steel, Paul Chen-Hanwei by CAS Iberia, Thaisuki Nihonto, Ryumon, Masahiro and more.
Our philosophy is to offer a quality product at a competitive price with a fair profit so we can expand to offer you an even larger selection of high quality fully functional samuari swords. You'll get fast shipping, accurate order filling, competitive pricing and the best customer service around. Your satisfaction is 100% guaranteed. It's right or we make it right. We look forward to serving you and hope you enjoy the selection available at Samaurai Swords 4 U.
