ckaiserca Posted January 19, 2023 Report Posted January 19, 2023 I have seen double-edged katana in comic books, but I have never seen an actual double-edged blade until I looked at Aoi-Art's website today. It's a beautiful sword. It was made by Tsuda Oumi Daijo Sukenao. 2 1 Quote
ROKUJURO Posted January 19, 2023 Report Posted January 19, 2023 Might be difficult to parry an opponent's blows without damaging at least one cutting edge.... Quote
PNSSHOGUN Posted January 19, 2023 Report Posted January 19, 2023 You see many in the Kogarasasumaru Sugata used as presentation or ceremonial gifts. It is a bit special to see one with this shape. Quote
Tensho Posted January 19, 2023 Report Posted January 19, 2023 Doesn't this style date back to the Nara and Heian period? Quote
DoTanuki yokai Posted January 19, 2023 Report Posted January 19, 2023 The original Kogarasu-Maru doesn’t have the Yokote line but I think the name fits better with Yokote. Edit: But it is just a big Moroha-Zukuri without the blunt part ? https://japaneseswordlegends.wordpress.com/2015/10/01/the-kogarasu-maru/ Quote
rematron Posted January 19, 2023 Report Posted January 19, 2023 Well, if I had an extra $23,000.00 USD laying around, I'd be all over that! Quote

vajo Posted January 19, 2023 Report Posted January 19, 2023 It looks curious but not beautifull for me. Sorry. 1 Quote

Expand Hahaha! Yeah, on that note it reminds me of Kylo Ren's lightsaber. It looks awesome but very very dangerous for the user. Ya know, in the Star Wars universe... Sorry to jump to fiction. @Brian feel free to take the picture down. Don't know if Disney hangs out on NMB waiting to sue. Quote
