| 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 1.1 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: • 1.1 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. |

*Last Legend's Free "You Break It, They Replace
It" blade warranty is included on all 3000 and 4000 series swords. Basically,
the blade is warranted against breakage during the normal course of dojo
practice or competition involving the cutting of "properly prepared Goza
mat or like material". The blade is not covered if you try to cut a Buick
in half or if an untrained, non martial artist tries to impersonate their
favorite samurai movie; as much as they believe in their blades, they know
you can't overcome the laws of physics. The warranty is there to provide
the customer with peace of mind should they make the ultimate mistake during
dojo practice or competition. The warranty covers the replacement of the
blade only, and will be replaced with the exact blade if that design is
still in production, or if that design is no longer in production, a blade
with the closest geometry. The new blade will be fitted to the existing
handle and furniture. The warranty will only replace a broken blade once
during the life of the sword. The only time limits to this warranty are
as follows. This free warranty will be in effect as long as Last Legend
is producing katanas, or until the founder of the company dies or retires,
because we doubt that a new CEO would be this generous--certainly no other
sword company is.
| With most production swords, if you get a long
handle all you end up getting is a hand full of wood because they use the
same short tangs on all the handles (one size fits all). With Last Legend
blades each tang is custom made to fit the handle you've chosen. With a
Last Legend sword, you're always holding a massive amount of steel. |
