• The Mikusa Family of Competition katanas with 1.0 inch sori from Last Legend •
|
|
|
First off, the battle geometry is NOT designed for non martial artists to replay their favorite samurai movie. They are designed to withstand the pressure of harder targets than the Pro Cutters. The design of the Mikusa family firmly departs from all previous Last Legend blades in all design criteria's.
|
The Mikusa Katana Family - The Mikusa katana family of blades are similar to the Yashima family. This is a Keicho Shinto style blade with an aggressive sori. Here is a quick fighter with a light feel. This blade is torizori with full niku, a striking masame hada in the folded blade, a dramatic taper from machi to yokote, and a longer chu kissaki. This blade will combine the cutting ability of the pro cutter series with the agility of the battle series.
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.
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.
