How old do you have to be to own a katana?

Here’s an answer from me. Your question about the legal situation is answered. Talk real Katana from 18. Pure decoration is attached.

Hello deco swords are like sand by the sea in this price class. Just look for it on Google.

In order to strike bamboo, however, none of these swords will be suitable and survive. For this you need a high-quality sword that is intended for such exercises.

But you’ll be up at 500 euros. Bamboo is hard and only a neatly forged and hardened sword will be suitable here.

Decorative hardeners without proper curing will quickly bend and completely break in such exercises. Swords that are suitable for this can be found, for example, at Katanzo. (Of course, I wouldn’t hit hard bamboo. – Go with a good sword. But Tameshigiri mats I think here is better suited than hard bamboo. It is more gentle for the sword and the cutting edge.)

For decoration itself, according to the new storage rule a few years ago, there is also strictly the provision that everything that is considered as a weapon (so also swords) is kept closed / or safe from access to unauthorized persons – especially minors.

The sword can therefore be valued as a violation. Exceptions are swords that have a rounded tip and a blunt cutting edge. Even most decorative swords must therefore be kept strictly closed. What is the meaning of the whole? 🤷 ♂️ Don’t ask me. Generations of politicians were chasing about the Weapons Act. Especially less popular politicians are trying to make themselves more popular by enlarging something and then presenting themselves as a security provider. Therefore, a lot is no longer logically understandable.
