Armor Quality

• Armor Quality :
• Kachi: Foot Soldier armor – Quickly made, basic painting and synthetic materials (like nylon instead of cotton, satin instead of silk) are used to keep the cost of the armor down.
  • The Kachi class will lack certain features, such as they do not have shoulder padding or a removable nose (it is fixed to the mask), they have a synthetic mustache and might have a few paint blemishes or iron plating and no brass fittings.
  • This class of armor is crafted for the samurai on a budget and those looking to modify their own amor.

Is the armor battle ready?

Although we do not recommend that quality armor to be used in any form of combat, it is however very capable of being used and withstanding the rigors of training and full contact sparring.

Along with traditional armor crafting, we believe in traditional armor testing.

Our armor has been tested with great success using fully functional, live samurai swords and other weapons.
