These double-edged swords are commonly known as \u003ci\u003etsurugi\u003c\/i\u003e , which literally translates to \u003ci\u003eblade\/sword\u003c\/i\u003e . This word is most commonly used in japanese for straight, double-edged swords, but also for other foreign swords with the same characteristics.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eThe tsurugi is one of the first swords that paved the way for Japanese weaponry. Some of the tsurugis discovered on Japanese soil date back to 700 BC. They are mostly of Chinese origin, as straight-bladed swords were not widely used in feudal Japan. Compared to the original tsurugi, with these battle-bladed versions, artistic liberty was taken to create something never seen before while keeping the main components true to the original. For example, the long tsuka often seen on tantos and wakizashis today is too long and holds no historical significance. They wanted to give these swords a short tsuka, like short swords in Japan. This \u003ci\u003ecompact\u003c\/i\u003e tsuka style is also beneficial when the weapon is used with the correct techniques. Since a short, smaller tsuka makes balancing the sword a challenge, Battle-Blades decided to make the nagako (especially on the longer wakizashi version) much wider and thicker than usual in order to balance the weapons optimally.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Kage no Senshi Tsurugi Wakizashi features a unique diamond-shaped iron tsuba, as Battle-Blades wanted to retain the essence of the well-known square tsuba of shinobi swords, but with an added twist. The true notary-style hamon gives the sword a harmonious look. This double-edged T10 steel wakizashi is forged and polished entirely by hand. It was fitted according to the \u003ci\u003eKage no Senshi Shinobi\u003c\/i\u003e outfit with midnight blue stingray leather and tsuka-ito wrapping. Blade protection is provided by a fully custom-made, jet-black saya with a unique koiguchi shape for easy sheathing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eDetails:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e - Blade material\/nagasa material: T10 steel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e - Total length: approx. 51cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e - Blade\/nagasa length: approx. 39 cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e - Handle\/tsuka length: approx. 11cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e - Blade thickness at the back\/kasane: approx. 7.2 mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e - Front sheet thickness\/sakikasane: approx. 2.5 mm\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e- Blade\/motohaba width: approx. 3.8 cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e - Blade width at tip\/sakihaba: approx. 2.7 cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e - Weight with cover\/saya: approx. 711g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e - Weight: approx. 549 g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The above specifications may vary slightly from specimen to specimen.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e At \u003cstrong\u003eTienda Medieval,\u003c\/strong\u003e we have thousands of medieval and other period products.
