Iron Factory will katana guards that resemble the ones on the weapons that Zoro uses in One Piece. There will be four variations for a price of 6,600 JPY ($43.60) each. [Thanks, Inside!]
The guards will come out on November 11, 2023, which is also Zoro’s birthday. As a note, the website for Iron Factory is down, as of the time of writing. So it’s unclear if Iron Factory will deliver overseas.
Over the course of One Piece, Zoro has used five swords. So far, you’ll be able to get the guards for Sandai Kitetsu, Yubashiri, Wado Ichimonji, and Shusui. The guard for Enma, which he used during the Wano Country Arc, is in production and it’ll come out some time in the future.
You can use the guards as pieces of interior design. Iron Factory has made them using the same method it would use to forge a real katana, as well as used lost-wax casting in order to get in precise details. The guards will come in a wooden box with the One Piece logo on it. Underneath the logo, there is a picture of the katana in question, as well as the name of the sword.
The One Piece sword guards will come out on November 11, 2023. One Piece is readily available to watch on streaming service such as Crunchyroll.
