Kage no senshi tsurugi ken, battleblades



Stealthy, insidious and elegant. The Kage no Senshi Tsurugi Ken is a double-edged, straight-bladed sword that is perfect for stabbing and slashing and can be wielded in one or both hands. It was created as a continuation of the tradition of modern shinobi. The fourth member of the Kage no Senshi family commands respect with his impressive Unokubi Zukuri sword. The blade was deliberately given more weight to ensure maximum balance and striking power. In order to achieve maximum grip, the sword was compared to its three predecessors, the Kage no Senshi Chokuto , the Kage no Senshi Tsurugi Tanto and the Kage no Senshi Tsurugi Wakizashi , equipped with a slightly sturdier handle. However, the tsuka is slightly shorter than that of the Kage no Senshi Chokuto , making the Tsurugi Ken a straight and very compact sword.



The tsurugi is one of the earliest swords that paved the way for Japanese weaponry. Some of the tsurugis discovered on Japanese soil date back to 700 BC. They are mostly of Chinese origin, as straight-bladed swords were not that common in feudal Japan. Compared to the original tsurugi, Battle-Blades has taken artistic liberty to create something never seen before while keeping the core components faithful to the original.



Similar to the Kage no Senshi Tsurugi Wakizashi, this sword has a unique diamond-shaped iron tsuba, as we wanted to retain the essence of the familiar square tsuba of shinobi swords, but with an added twist. The geometry of the Nagasa has been carefully crafted to make it powerful enough to withstand strong cuts and stabs, whilst maintaining the sword's exceptionally fast handling as it sharply tapers towards the tip. For this reason, the sword is super fast and easy to handle. The true notary-style hamon gives the sword a calm aura. This double-edged weapon is fully hand-forged and polished from T10 steel and sheathed with midnight blue stingray leather and tsuka-ito wrapping to match the Kage no Senshi shinobi's attire. Guarding the blade is a jet-black, fully custom-made saya with a unique Koiguchi shape for a smooth sheath.



As always, this weapon is guaranteed Battleblades quality and comes with an embroidered Battleblades silk sword bag and a certificate with the serial number.
