What is Nine Directions?

That’s a good question.  Nine Directions is my practice when it comes to studying weaponry. I thought it only fitting that when I expanded from just selling sword to selling my personal creations that I renamed the entity Nine Directions, as I would need to study deeply each tool I sell.

Think of Nine Directions as a high end Hardware store for Ninja. I sell only the best. If my items are respected they will last a life time and be passed down to the next generation.

Nine Directions or ND has many rules to follow in its life. Plastic, stainless steel, cheap, throw away and so one are words and items we do not like. The plastic you will find with our items is the packing tape on the cardboard box I ship it to you in. Stainless steel is meant for a fork or a spoon not a sword. ND likes rust; likes nature likes the circle that seems to be this world. Crystal when it is formed is very straight to the eye, yet there are no to crystals alike, as there are no two snowflakes alike. As such no two products should be alike. Yes they may look similar yet there are differences. These differences make them unique and to me this is the point where they start to become there own entity.  All my tools have life.

Each tool needs that life. That’s why my self’s are filled with my items.  Your item needs to be made for you with you in mind. Each tool needs to have purpose in its creation. So when you order please include a little information on your self to make the process more enjoyable for me and so you will have a truly wonderful tool.

Lastly, ND follows the path of Ninpo. You can look at this as it guiding light.
