Gokudo Aikuchi, Battleblades



The short sword aikuchi

One of the best hand forged swords from battleblades.

The stunning Gokudo Aikuchi is a compact one-handed Shirasaya short sword that combines the impeccable aesthetics of Japanese sword art with absolute performance.



From the initial sketch to the forging, creating this weapon was a time-consuming task. Battleblades' goal was to forge a sharp, perfectly balanced sword with high cutting power and impeccable handling. The sori (curvature of the blade), wide motohaba, and generous kissaki were carefully planned and implemented in this process.



Polished and sharpened aikuchi sword



Hand forged from t10 steel, the nagasa has been polished and hazuya sharpened. It is all complemented by an attractive shinogi line, an extra-long kissaki and a hamon created by hardening in a layer of clay. The result is one of the finest samurai swords that battleblades has ever forged.



The hardwood tsuka is covered with black Samegawa ray skin and decorated on both sides with specially made silver menuki. A custom-made and carefully fitted copper habaki creates a stunning appearance.



The custom-made wooden saya features unique kojiri, kurikata and koikuchi made from real buffalo horn. Beneath the high-quality silk sageo, the saya is covered with Samegawa ray skin. For added elegance, it was painted entirely in black.



The Gokudo Aikuchi is a masterpiece that will not disappoint. The samurai sword comes with a Battleblades Inc. embroidered silk pouch and a serial numbered certificate of authenticity.
