Welcome To SwordStore.com. We represent many of the finest makers and artisans making swords and practice blades in Japan today. We also provide sword restoration services and a full range of products for both the martial artist and the collector
Swordstore.com is wholly owned by Cutting Edge Technologies Inc. (CET, Inc.) and we have been in business since 1991 and on the internet as a web store since 1996.
Japanese swords (Shinken) are made by master smiths called Toshyo. Each smith must be licensed by the Japanese government and must use traditional methods in Japanese sword making. Each sword is registered by the Japanese government. The Japanese government also controls the number of katana length swords each smith can make. There are approximately 325 registered smiths in Japan ranging from once in awhile hobbyists to full time smiths. SwordStore.com only works with smiths that depend upon this art for their livelihoods and do not work with hobbyists and apprentice smiths.

We are committed to providing our clients the best customer support possible. We strive for uncompromising integrity, thoroughness to detail and to selling only the best equipment available.

Besides selling swords and iaito, Rick Polland has been studying various budo since 1968 and iaido and jodo since 1974. He was motivated by the absence of quality products for sincere martial arts students to try and obtain the best products possible. Yuri Polland is SwordStore's Web Master and is both Microsoft and Novell Certified. Yuri has been involved with the internet since its inception as the MIS Manager at the U. of MD. School of Medicine.

Tom Sakaguchi is Swordstore's Sales Manager. Besides being an avid tsuba collector with an extensive private collection. Tom also practices Muso Shinden Ryu Iaido both in Japan and the U.S. and holds the rank of Rokudan.
