With a standard length, double pegged 10.5' tsuka (handle) and a 21' blade forged from the same revolutionary 9260 spring steel as the Cheness Cutlery Heavy Duty Dojo Cutters, this eminently durable shortsword is. But, if you are looking for the length, you can pretty much choose anything that you feel comfortable with. Available with bo-hi (pictured) or as a solid bodied blade. Katana and such are often balanced further up the blade than straight swords. I have found the heavy grades to give a very nice accurate balance.


All of those techniques with the grip are also in Chinese and European long sword systems.Īs far as handling. Like most Ninja stuff out there, take it with a grain of salt. Which hilt-blade combination would you consider/recommend to achieve a similar handling?Īn Overlord with Initiate-blade (MG?/HG?) and perhaps a heavier pommel? The original flagship of Cheness Cutleries range of super heavy duty 9260 Spring Steel Katana, this classic looking sword with a thick brass 'Musashi' double 'C' ring tsuba is a very tough, practical. The description of the 'Samurai-disguise' style sword ( ) contains depictions about the possible grips depending on intended usage of the blade.Īs I find that quite intriguing, my question is 'simple': This is by far the sharpest sword Ive received without additional sharpening. Recently I stumbled across an interesting article regarding 'ninja swords' and their different types ('Hollywood-style', 'secret weapon', 'Samurai-disguise'): ATHENA was the Olympian goddess of the defense of towns and the crafts of weaving, pottery and sculpture.
