"Even if it seems certain that you will lose, retaliate. Neither wisdom nor technique has a place in this. A real man does not think of victory or defeat. He plunges recklessly towards an irrational death. By doing this, you will awaken from your dreams." -Hagakure This sword is what separates the men from the boys, the display swords from the real swords. The full tang of the sword balances the sword properly and adds significantly to the strength of the blade. The sword is fast with smooth slashes and strong parries. Attributes of the Weapon: Blade: The blade of the sword is HQSS 440 stainless steel featuring the visible temper line along the edge of the blade. The blade also features a mirror polish finish as well a thicker blade giving the sword a much more aggressive look. Scabbard: The scabbard of the sword is wooden with a shiny gloss black lacquer finish. The scabbard features a black nylon sage-o and two golden steel fittings at the scabbard throat and at the end cap. Guard: The guard is a detailed octagon with a golden blade collar securing the blade of the sword. Handle: The handle is full tang with the blade of the sword extending all the way down to the pommel of the handle. Over the tang of the sword is the wooden handle held by three brass fittings. In the movie when people put the sword back to scabbard you can hear a very clear and sharp sound from the sword, right? You can get the same effect with this sword. It's really cool when you show the sword to your friends. Opportunity only strikes so often, are you the one that knows a deal when one comes? Don't be a don't be?BE A DO BE and BUY IT NOW!
