Sword Bags - Actually Stopped To Look

[Vermithrax16]

No idea if these are real silk but they are very pretty and nice on the eyes. Graceful even,

They are described as pure silk 正絹　　

 

*Said in a whisper* Stylistically each to their own I suppose...  I think they look like the mother-in-law-from-hell's kimono...  But that could be just me

Yes, I agree BUT........ if I would shroud a new sword in one the wife may think it's pretty and I would get less hassle. Plans within plans.

:clap: Good thinking, Jeremiah, but some of those bags look pretty narrow to house a blade in koshirae (tsuba would bulge out). And I don't keep my shirasaya in bags.

 

Just wait for Christmas, & hang one up in place of a stocking - she'll get the idea!

Hi Ken just out of curiosity why do you keep swords in shirasaya out of bags?

Pretty nice sword bag!

 

Perhaps not a men's thing, but keep in mind most sword bags are sold to iaidoka...and women practise iaido also.

I keep my shirasa out of bags, I dust them once a week. Don’t see the necessity to keep them in...

[PhoenixDude]

I keep all my swords in bags with a dessicant packet

It means that you are leaving in a damp location. In Paris, rate of humidity is only around 55%...
