Keeping Your Samurai Sword Cane in Top Shape

If you have a samurai sword cane, you have what can arguably be called one of the most unique and potentially practical self defense weapons out there. At the bare minimum you have a unique conversation piece. 

Of course, like any sword, you need to know how to properly care for it if you want the investment to last. That’s what this guide is for. 

Cleaning and Oiling the Blade

If you have a battle-ready samurai sword cane which can be used for live cutting practice, and you do use it, the most important element of routine care is keeping the blade clean. 

This is especially true if you cut acidic targets like fruits and vegetables, and many people do. This is because they are full not just of moisture, but also because acid can and will damage the finish on the blade. 

After every live cutting practice, wipe your blade clean with a wet rag to remove the juices and acids, then wipe it down again with a clean, dry cloth. Be sure that no moisture remains on the blade as this will cause rust, corrosion, pitting or staining. 

After you have wiped the blade down, you need to oil it. Use an appropriate oil for a sword or knife, such as machine or gun oil, or, if you like, tsubaki oil, which is a food-safe alternative which will also protect the blade. 

One drop of oil on each side of the blade should suffice; distribute it evenly and it should insulate the steel against corrosion. Alternatively, you can use a microcrystalline wax to protect the blade and any other exposed metal fittings. 

Storing Wisely (and Outside the Scabbard) 

The other half of proper sword cane maintenance is that you should store it in an appropriate location. 

The most important thing is that you store the sword cane somewhere in a cool, dry location that does not experience swings in relative humidity. It’s best to store it somewhere where the humidity never gets above 50%. 

A dry storage location is imperative because it will help minimize exposure to moisture that will cause the blade to rust. 

Also, if you are going to store the samurai sword cane for any prolonged period of time, it’s best if you store the blade outside the scabbard. 

What Not to Do with a Sword Cane

At its most basic, this is all you need to know about proper samurai sword cane maintenance. Nonetheless, here are some other things you should never do with one: 

  • Never throw the sword cane. 
  • Don’t stick the blade in the ground, as this will dull the edge, scratch or mar the finish, and expose the blade to corrosive salts and other elements. 
  • Don’t strike the edge of the blade against a hard object, such as a target stand. 
  • Never leave the blade unsheathed and exposed (except when storing in a secure location).
  • Don’t expose the blade to acids, salts, or other corrosive influences unless you are prepared to clean it immediately afterwards. 
  • Always be aware of your immediate surroundings when training with a sword cane, so as to prevent injuries or other accidents. 

All in all, if you keep to these pointers, you’ll better protect your investment in your sword cane.
