Generation 2 BWT Katana Sword & Wakizashi
Basic katana sword with the Mokko Gotto tsuba, now re-designed for increased balance and added strength.
This is a new one for Generation2.  We have had allot of people ask us to come out with a katana that strong enough for competition but with a traditional style.  And we listened, but we added a few high end items to it to really catch your attention.  Many of you have been with us long enough to now how we pay attention to detail and the fit and finish.

First the Handle ... Habaki: Steel, with a burnished copper finish ... O-seppa: Brass ... Seppa: Copper
Tsuba: Steel, with a Black Finish ... Fuchi: Water Buffalo Horn ... Kashira (Band at the bottom of the handle above the Tsuba):  Blackened Steel... Ito (Wrapping): Brown Suede ... REAL Same, Black ... Peg: 2 Bamboo Pins ... Menuki:  Copper with "Floral" design.
The tang has been significantly increased in size due to customer demand. This creates a lighter feeling, faster sword..

How is that as a start?
Second the Blade ... Tempered high carbon blade with a Real Hamon line.  The Hamon is not acid dipped as with most so you can see it, but as you can barely see on the picture to the left at just the right angle you can see the difference just above the edge, where the blade darkens.
The blade is 10/60 carbon steel and comes with a full double bohi and nice slanted spear tip.  The RC Factor on the Edge was 58/59 but is now 60, and along the back the RC Factor is 40.
You can also see the curvature of the blade (especially you competition cutters)  this will be a very strong sword.  We are not trying to compete with anyone just to full fill our customer's request.

Lastly the Saya ... Full wood saya, black lacquered with the Koiguchi / Kurikata / Kojiri made from Water Buffalo Horn

Weight...BWT Katana (Standard Tsuba) 1040gm (2.3 lbs.); (New Tsuba) 970gm (2.15 lbs.);

The Pro Cutter - The Ameryu Family of Competition katana sword
The design of the Ameryu family is in response to requests made by certain sansei and customers for a Tsunami/Dragon type of blade that would incorporate some of our new improvements and a narrower sori.
The Ameryu family of swords is a return to origins.  Here is a sugata taken from the earlier days of the samurai sword.  After the Mongol invasion of Japan, a call was made for more robust swords.  The tosho of the era responded by producing a sword to match the challenge.  In the style of the Kamakura and Nanbokucho period, here is a sword of authority.  The Ameryu cutter is wide at the machi, wide at the yokote, little niku, chu kissaki, and a striking masame jihada in the folded versions.

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 Ameryu series: • 0.6 inch sori - Standard length - Blade 28.0 or 29.5 inches, available with or without Bohi at NO extra cost - Handle 10.5 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.

    KEY FEATURES:
    There are so many options that we do not have room here.

The Pro Cutter - The Kumoryu Family of Competition katana sword
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 1.1 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.

    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.

    The Battle Blade - The Yashima Family of Competition katana sword
    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 Yashoma family firmly departs from all previous Last Legend blades in all design criteria's.

    The Yashima Family - The Yashima family of blades are well balanced and quick in the hand.  They are Keicho Shinto style blades with some koshizori, with masame hada in the folded blades, full niku, a significant taper from machi to yokote, and a longer chu kissaki.  In the hand, the Yashima feels like a Kamakura era fighting blade that has been reduced in length for the Shinto fighting styles.

    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.

    Miyamoto Musashi Daito and Wakizashi
    made by Paul Chen
    Miyamoto Musashi, arguably the most famous swordmaster in Japanese history, fought more than 60 duels before retiring and writing his famous treatise on swordplay, the "Book of Five Rings". Musashi was well above average height and his Daito (long sword) was made to match his size. Development of the two-sword style of swordplay, with the Daito (long sword) and Wakizashi being used together, is credited to Musashi. Fittingly, we are able to offer both pieces with matching mounts. The Hanwei reproduction of the Musashi Daisho (1016-GT, 1017-GT) is faithful to the original down to the famous double-ring iron tsubas. The Musashi Katana is mounted in black, with subtle copper inlays in the saya, and the tsuka-ito is in leather over ray skin. The blade is hand-forged in high-carbon steel and is edge-tempered using the traditional clay tempering method, resulting in a distinct hamon. Edge hardness is 60HRC, back hardness 40HRC. The grip is double-pegged to the tang for safety.

    Golden Oriole Katana and Wakizashi made by Paul Chen
    It has been said that in simplicity lies great beauty, an axiom stunningly validated by the Golden Oriole Katana (1018-GT) and Wakizashi (1019-GT). The story told by the stunning brass tsubas is of a mantis stealthily stalking a cricket, unaware that he is himself being stalked by the Golden Oriole. The deeply lacquered blue of the scabbards is repeated in the Japanese cotton handle wraps, an the Oriole appears again on the kashiras (pommels). 

    Unmistakenly Hanwei quality, the over length (14") grip of the katana is secured to the long tang by double bamboo pegs. This longer handle gives a superb balance to the sword, allowing it to move freely and very quickly.

    Blind Warrior Mark II Katana Sword and Tanto
    In answer to customer requests, Last Legend has created a katana with a fully tempered blade disguised as a simple walking stick. That was only the first part of the requests; what the customers really wanted was a walking stick built to Last Legend standards, and here it is.
    Customers have also requested that the wood be changed to black instead of the lighter tone of the prototypes, so they did, and as usual, the customers were right. It has made the sword very striking in appearance with the contrast of the polished steel bands and the black wood.
    So what makes the Blind Warrior better than its competition? Let's run down a list:
    1. As you know, when Last Legend says "full-tang" they don't mean a thin threaded rod (which in itself would be an improvement over other walking sticks). The blade is 27" long, but the full blade material is 38" long; which translates into 11" of blade used as a tang.
    2. One of the big complaints from customers has been handles cracking and breaking, resulting in blade separation when something is struck with competitor's swords. To cure this problem, Last Legend has not only surrounded the blade with extreme hardwood, but it is also double-pinned (hidden by the second steel band) and epoxied. Additionally, what appears to be decorative banding is, in actuality, metal reinforcing bands for the handle and saya.
    3. Handled the competition, and worried about it slipping out of your hand and ending up with a hand full of sharp blade? Last Legend thought about that. That’s why the Bland Warrior is completely covered in leather for grip retention.
    4. Because of the weight of the full tang in the handle, this sword has amazing balance (balance point is just 2.5" down the blade from the handle), similar to a high priced competition katana, and unknown in any similar swords. Versus competitors with a balance point at 9.5" down the blade.
    5. The blade on this sword is made of a modified 1060 carbon steel. Last Legend has extreme confidence in this blade because it is made from the same steel, and forged similarly to, the blade on their Skofnung Battle Sword. Although the sword was not intended for Goza cutting, being the rascals we are, we had to see if it would cut through a Goza. So, following the required preparation, we faced off with our opponent. If you've ever cut Goza you know the delightful feeling of seeing the part of the Goza that was just severed fall to the ground, and the Blind Warrior accomplished this with a diagonal cut; the only walking stick sword we have ever seen capable of performing this feat and still remaining intact. Although Last Legend does not condone Goza cutting with this sword, we just had to find out if it could, because if it can accomplish that, it can surely handle any light duty work you may have in mind.
    6. The entire sword is handmade, forged, and tempered. In addition, the blade is hand polished to a high finish.
    The 14" matching tanto is constructed using the same rugged specifications, including the full-handle tang and steel reinforcing bands.

    The Generation 2 Traditional BWT Katana Sword
    We have had allot of people ask us to come out with a katana that strong enough for competition but with a traditional style.  And we listened, but we added a few high end items to it to really catch your attention.  Many of you have been with us long enough to now how we pay attention to detail and the fit and finish.

    First the Handle ... Habaki: Steel, with a burnished copper finish ... O-seppa: Brass ... Seppa: Copper
    Tsuba: Steel, with a Black Finish ... Fuchi: Water Buffalo Horn ... Kashira (Band at the bottom of the handle above the Tsuba):  Blackened Steel ... Ito (Wrapping): Brown Suede ... REAL Same, Black ... Peg: 2 Bamboo Pins ... Menuki:  Copper with "Floral" design

    How is that as a start?
    Second the Blade ... Tempered high carbon blade with a Real Hammon line.  The Hammon is not acid dipped as with most so you can see it, but as you can barely see on the picture to the left at just the right angle you can see the difference just above the edge, where the blade darkens.
    The blade is 10/60 carbon steel and comes with a full double bohi and nice slanted spear tip.  The RC Factor on the Edge was 58/59 but is now 60, and along the back the RC Factor is 40.
    You can also see the curvature of the blade (especially you competition cutters)  this will be a very strong sword.  We are not trying to compete with anyone just to full fill our customer's request.

    Lastly the Saya... Full wood saya, black lacquered with the Koiguchi / Kurikata / Kojiri made from Water Buffalo Horn

      KEY FEATURES:
      Real Same (Ray Skin)
      Suede Wrapped Handle

    The New Shin Ryu SE Pro Cutter Competition katana sword Last Legend's Dragon katana Re-Born!
    The Shinryu SE is a Special Edition that we asked Last Legend to make, because of customer request regarding the Last Legend 02 series and their top of the line Dragon katana from that series. We found that Last Legend still had a good amount of the Dragon fitting at their foundry, so we asked them to make a "New Dragon" or Shinryu.

    All the Shinryu's have the Dragon blade geometry but with a 28" T10 tool steel differentially tempered blade with BoHi and a half inch sori. The swords come with complete Dragon fitting with a 12 inch handle that is battle wrapped in black Japanese cotton over real white samé (ray skin). The saya is Last Legend's customary deep black lacquer.

    These will carry on the tradition of Last Legend's famous Dragon line.
