Last Legend's Kumoryu, Mikusa, Ameryu, Yashima, Taketoshi and Blind Warrior Katan Sword; Competition cutting katana swords and new Shinryu

The 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 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.

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.

The New Shinryu 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.
