Kage no senshi tsurugi Tanto, battle swords



With the Kage no Senshi Chokuto proving to be a hit, Battle-Blades felt it needed something even stealthier, meaner, and different to pair it with, so they turned it into not one, but two consecutive double-edged short swords. the same period. These double-edged swords are commonly known as tsurugi , which literally translates as blade/sword . This word is most commonly used in Japanese for double-edged straight swords, but also for other foreign swords with the same characteristics.



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 retroactively. They are mostly of Chinese origin, as straight-bladed swords were not widely used in feudal Japan. Compared to the original tsurugi, with these Battle-Blades versions artistic liberty was taken to create something never seen before while keeping the main components faithful to the original. For example, the long tsuka often seen on tantos and wakizashis today is too long and has no historical significance. They wanted to give these swords a short tsuka, like short swords in Japan actually had. This style of compact tsuka is also beneficial when the weapon is used with the correct techniques. Since a short and smaller tsuka makes balancing the sword a challenge, Battle-Blades decided to make the nagako much wider and thicker than usual in order to be able to balance the weapons optimally.



This double-edged T10 steel tanto is fully hand forged and polished. The real notary style hamon gives the sword a harmonious look. It was fitted according to the Kage no Senshi shinobi outfit with midnight blue stripe leather and tsuka-ito wrapping. The blade guard is a jet black saya, fully custom made with a unique koiguchi shape for easy scabbard placement.
