Our website uses SSL technology,

which encrypts the important personal information of customers to ensure data security.

In order to make customers feel at ease in shopping and the use of related services, 

the Company has formulated the Privacy Policy to protect customers' privacy information.

In addition, the "SSL" mechanism is used for security measures to encrypt the transmission of customer personal data in communications.

This encryption technology is used to encrypt the personal information of customers and credit card numbers, etc., so that the communication can be carried out under a safe and secure mechanism.

The security mechanism of the so-called "proxy server" may not support SSL, depending on the environment used by the enterprise.

In that case, please contact your company's webmaster.

If you do not use SSL for communication, resulting in the leakage of information, we can not be held responsible for Musashihamono, please forgive us.

We will deduct a handling fee according to the actual packing progress.

The total cancellation fee is 5%~15% before your order is shipped. (Except for Pre-orders)

First of all, we are very grateful for your trust and support to us.

About pre-order,as a rule, orders cannot be cancelled after payment is made because pre-order items are usually scarce, they need to be made by a separate request to the craftsman.

If you need to cancel for personal reasons, a 30% cancellation fee will be deducted within the deadline of the Pre-order. If the delivery is not completed within the booking period, the order can be cancelled completely without any handling fee.

Some points to note

Although Musashihamono takes the utmost care in the production of our products, because they are consistently handmade, it is difficult to produce exactly the same product as a machine-made product, and slight differences and imperfections may occur. The following is an example, but we do not accept returns under the following conditions.

1. Dents in the plastic handle ring and wood

When attaching the blade to the handle, the handle is inserted and removed several times, which may cause slight dents in the plastic handle rings and the wood inside.

2. Burn mark on bottom handle

Because the blade is heated to a high temperature before attaching to the handle, depending on the wood, the heat may reach the bottom of the blade and leave a burn mark.

3. Wood on the handle is pitted or has a strong grain.

Burn marks remain on the bottom of the plastic handle The blade is heated to a high temperature before attaching to the handle, so depending on the wood, the heat may reach the bottom and burn marks may remain.

4. There is a hole on the back side of the blade.

It is unlikely that the knife will be used to this extent, so we do not accept returns.

5. Marks are scattered

Because engraving is done by hand and a lot of force is applied, depending on the type of blade, the engraving may move slightly when it is struck, causing the marks to scatter to other areas.

6. The top surface of the handle is scorched or cracked.

The blade is heated to a high temperature before being attached to the handle, which may cause the top of the handle to scorch or crack, depending on the wood.

7. The shape and appearance of the handle and scabbard may differ slightly.

We purchase from multiple craftsmen who make handles and sheaths. The thickness, length, shape, wood quality, and finish of the same product may vary slightly from craftsman to craftsman.

8. The blade may deviate slightly from the center of the handle.

Due to the manual installation process, the standard for installation varies depending on the wood and blade material used.
In some cases, there is a possibility of slight misalignment on either side. Since the craftsman's main criterion is whether the blade is distorted, we believe that there will be no problems with grip comfort or stability.

9. The engraving on the back side of the piece may be partially erased.

In the process of sharpening, the engraving on the reverse side of the blade may be partially erased in rare cases due to distortion or other reasons.
