Tokubetsu Hozon Tachi for Sale

Tokubetsu Hozon ("Especially Worthy of Preservation") tachi pair the elegance of Japan's early curved sword form with the NBTHK's second-tier certification. Worn edge-down by mounted samurai and predating the katana, the tachi reached its height during the Koto era. The Tokubetsu Hozon designation confirms each blade as a well-preserved, faithfully attributed work of recognized quality — a strong middle ground for collectors seeking historically important tachi below the Juyo tier.
