Ryumon Sword Cleaning Kit incl Nylon Fiber Container (K-JL-600)

Sword Cleaning Kit

To maintain a good finish on your Katana, make sure you always leave a light layer of oil on the blade, this prevents moisture from getting in and rusting the surface of the steel. This is most important for carbon steel blades as they are not corrosion resistant like stainless steel and can be susceptible to oxidation.

• Clean the blade with the cloth, try not to leave any residue or fibres on the blade when cleaning.
• Once free of oil, powder the blade with the Uchiko ball, this soaks up any leftover moisture and acts as an abrasive which cleans the steel as it is wiped off. Do this by tapping the ball against the side of the blade moving towards the tip and applying powder to the whole blade.
• Use the cloth again and wipe down the blade.
• Now reapply a new layer of oil, dab a small amount of oil on the cloth, gently move the cloth down the blade ensuring every bit of the blade comes into contact. You can inspect the blade against the light to check if any areas are missing.
