Chris Chaffee's new retail shop for authentic Japanese art swords, RealNihonto.com strives to deliver the most realistic online sword examination experience available. While creating our retail nihonto shop we asked ourselves, "What would we want to see before purchasing a sword online?" Since there is nothing better than examining a sword in hand, we decided that the next best thing would be to show video of someone else doing just that.

RealNihonto.com is an online retail shop for nihonto and nihonto accessories. The owner, Mr. Christian T. Chaffee has been studying Japanese art swords for 20 years and has retained some of the most remarkable pieces he has come across for his own collection.

The site is also aimed at education and appreciation of the fine art of handmade swords so please visit the site and enjoy viewing video and high resolution photography.
