• The Kumoryu Family of Competition katanas with 1.0 inch sori from Last Legend •
|
|
|
The design of the Kumoryu family follows in the footsteps of the Tsunami/Dragon type of blade but with Last Legend's latest improvements and keeping the one-inch sori.
|
The Kumoryu Family - In the Kumoryu family of blades we find the master of the cutting swords. Based on Nanbokucho period sugata with little taper from machi to yokote, an outstanding masame jihada in the folded versions and chu kissaki. This robust sword sports a 1.0 inch sori, little niku and torizori for superior cutting ability.
Each of the new sword families has 6 basic configurations. The blade "design" is identical in each configuration within that family. The difference between each is the blade material, the number of folds, and/or the level of intricacy of the furniture.
All Kumoryu series: • 1.0 inch sori . Standard length - Blade 27.5 or 29.0 inches, available with or without Bohi at NO extra cost - Handle 11.0 inches.
All models have a natural horn throat cap.
All folded blade models have a silk embroidered and fully lined sword bag. Non-folded models come with Last Legend's dojo bag, a dark blue fully lined cotton sword bag.
Available in Katana, Wakizashi, and Iaito models.

Many companies have started to copy Last Legend's ideas (families of swords, blades designed for specific uses, etc.). Of course, it is said that imitation is the highest form of flattery, but the one thing that no one copies is the blade warranty, now ask yourself why.
