The Togishi, the Japanese master polisher, works on sword blades in an inimitable way after years of training and experience. When he takes on a blade, a process lasting several weeks begins in which the blade is continuously treated. The blade is repeatedly ground and polished with different grits until the desired result is achieved and the blade is visually perfect.<br \/>\nThe challenge here is that no two Japanese blades are exactly the same and a high degree of experience and skill is required to work each blade correctly.<br \/>\nSharpening the blade is only one part of the overall polishing process.\n<\/p>\n<h2>Grind high-quality blades yourself?<\/h2>\n<p>\nIf you own a high-quality Japanese blade, a historical original or similar, you should only ever have it worked on by a suitably trained specialist as mentioned above. The price for this can be several thousand euros, but it is worth it if the blade has a corresponding value.\n<\/p>\n<h2>Sharpening blunt decorative swords?<\/h2>\n<p>\nIf you have a purely decorative sword, you should not sharpen the blade. A decorative katana does not need a sharp blade. In addition, the design of a purely decorative sword ensures that you cannot cut anything with it without damaging the sword.<br \/>\nIf you're not sure whether your samurai sword is a purely decorative piece, you can find a few points of reference in our article on <a href=\"https:\/\/samuraischwert.kaufen\/en\/buying-advice\/decorative-swords-real-swords\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Decorative katana<\/strong><\/a>. An important point would be if the sword does not have a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/samuraischwert.kaufen\/en\/samurai-sword\/components\/tsuka\/mekugi-the-pen\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mekugi<\/a><\/strong> owns. Then it is most probably a decorative object.\n<\/p>\n<h2>Sharpening the katana yourself for practical use<\/h2>\n<p>\nNowadays, samurai swords are relatively inexpensive for practical use. However, after a few cutting exercises, blades no longer have the sharpness they had at the beginning.<br \/>\nGetting such blades sharp again is a real challenge:<br \/>\nProfessional refurbishment to Japanese standards costs many times the price of a new sword and is therefore out of the question.<br \/>\nIf you want to do the sharpening yourself, you first need the appropriate whetstones. During the first attempts at sharpening, the blade surface is usually damaged or the blade is not sharpened to a suitable angle, which can irreparably damage the cutting edge during the next cutting exercises.<br \/>\nIn addition, the surface of the blade is often scratched during the first attempts, which can only be repaired with an enormous amount of time.\n<\/p>\n<h2>Our sword grinding service<\/h2>\n<p>\nFor all those who do not want to do it themselves, we offer an inexpensive sharpening service for modern sword blades from series production. Your sword will be processed and you will receive it back from us sharpened. A cutting phase is worked into the blade to simplify future sharpening.<br \/>\nThe service only refers to sharpening the blade. There is no polishing or other surface treatment.<\/p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n.pr-row {\n  display: -ms-flexbox;\n  display: flex;\n  -ms-flex-wrap: wrap;\n  flex-wrap: wrap;\n  margin-right: -15px;\n  margin-left: -15px;\n}\n.pr-col-md-4{\n  position: relative;\n  width: 100%;\n  padding-right: 15px;\n  padding-left: 15px;\n}\n.align-item-center{\n\talign-items: center;\n}\n.product-title.woocommerce-loop-product__title {\n    font-size: 16px;\n    font-weight: 600;\n}\n.price {\n    color: red;\n    font-weight: 700;\n}\n@media (min-width: 768px) {\n\t.pr-col-md-4 {\n\t\t-ms-flex: 0 0 33.333333%;\n\t\tflex: 0 0 33.333333%;\n\t\tmax-width: 33.333333%;\n \t}\n}\n<\/style>\n<div class=\"pr-row align-item-center\">\n\t<div class=\"pr-col-md-4\">\n\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/samuraischwert.kaufen\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/shutterstock_10956368602.jpg\" class=\"card-image\"  \/>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"pr-col-md-4\">\n\t\t<div class=\"product-content-box woocommerce-card__header\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"product-cat product__categories\"><a href=\"https:\/\/samuraischwert.kaufen\/en\/shop\/kategorie\/service\/\" rel=\"tag\">Service<\/a><\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"product-title woocommerce-loop-product__title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/samuraischwert.kaufen\/en\/produkt\/samuraischwert-schaerfen-lassen\/\">Samurai sword sharpening\/sharpening<\/a><\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"product-rating\"><div class=\"star-rating\" role=\"img\" aria-label=\"Rated 5.00 out of 5\" data-no-translation-aria-label=\"\"><span style=\"width:100%\" data-no-translation=\"\" data-trp-gettext=\"\">Rated <strong class=\"rating\">5.00<\/strong> out of 5 based on <span class=\"rating\">3<\/span> customer ratings<\/span><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"price\"><span class=\"woocommerce-Price-amount amount\"><bdi>39.00&nbsp;<span class=\"woocommerce-Price-currencySymbol\">\u20ac<\/span><\/bdi><\/span><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"pr-col-md-4\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/samuraischwert.kaufen\/en\/produkt\/samuraischwert-schaerfen-lassen\/\" class=\"button add_to_cart_button\">View now<\/a>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"shariff shariff-align-left shariff-widget-align-left\"><ul class=\"shariff-buttons theme-grey orientation-horizontal buttonsize-medium\"><li class=\"shariff-button twitter shariff-nocustomcolor\" style=\"background-color:#595959\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsamuraischwert.kaufen%2Fen%2Fschwertpflege%2Fkatana-schaerfen%2F&text=Katana%20sch%C3%A4rfen%20und%20schleifen\" title=\"Share at X\" aria-label=\"Share at X\" role=\"button\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" class=\"shariff-link\" style=\";
