JAPANESE ART SWORD RESTORATION
Take a look at some of these pages on polishing and related subjects. I hope that you will find it as interesting as I do and will add more to your understanding about the Japanese sword.
Most of the photographs are from my work shop in New York and some maybe from my trips to Japan. This section is for a collector and not intended for a person wishing to restore swords without the proper training. I absolutely do not give out information to untrained people looking to polish swords. "Please no emails asking me for advise on how to polish your own sword".
Many swords have been destroyed in this country by people trying to restore a sword without the proper training. As the saying goes "don't try this at home". You may own a very valuable sword that in the wrong hands can be ruined. If you have any questions please just email me at
