What if a Sword doesn’t have a Certificate?
Sometimes a sword doesn’t have NBTHK certification. Most commonly the reason for this is simply for the fact the sword was held in a private collection and was never submitted to the NBTHK in the first place. For this reason, some very good swords can be acquired less expensively. Submission to NBTHK could then be made after purchase, but of course there is no guarantee that the sword will pass HOZON.
It is important to understand that even if a sword does not have NBTHK certification, for whatever the reason, customers can rest assured that all pieces from Unique Japan are genuine, authentic Japanese swords. Each can be enjoyed for their own unique and endearing qualities. Most of which being the knowingness that Soul of the Samurai continues to live inside the blade.
