Five design families with six katana models in each family. Blades designed for Goza competition, blades designed for fresh bamboo cutting, models with 1/2 inch sori, models with 1 full inch of sori, and as always, the customer's choice of two standard blade lengths with or without bohi - All at NO extra charge. That gives the customer a choice of 120 standard "No Extra Charge" configurations with most standard configurations in stock and ready for delivery; and with the extra cost options, the customer can now create any of 220,762 -- NOW create any of over 1 million different configurations. Other manufacturers have spent the last three years trying to copy, but there's still no doubt, there's no argument, Last Legend still gives the customer more choice, and produces more models, and variations of production competition katanas, than any other manufacturer in the world, and always will.

Many companies have started to copy Last Legend's ideas (families of swords, blades designed for specific uses, etc.). Of course, it is said that imitation is the highest form of flattery, but the one thing that no one copies is the blade warranty, now ask yourself why.

If you're not completely familiar with Last Legend katanas, take a moment to find out what makes us tick. Last Legend is unique among manufacturers in that we actually listen to the customers. Our previous swords, the 2002 editions, were the result of listening to customers for many years. During the time that this edition was in production, most all the swords that left our warehouse were accompanied by a customer evaluation form. We wanted to know, from what is now our Last Legend family members, what was right, what was wrong, and what needed changing. This was so important to us that we gave a discount on future Last Legend purchases to everyone who returned a completed evaluation to us. We now have thousands of them, and have read each and every one. It's those compliments, and more importantly, noted areas of improvement, that have been incorporated into our 2005 editions. There's a reason why Last Legend is the only company that rewards their customers for their opinions, Last Legend is apparently the only company that cares, listens, and reacts. You may also ask yourself why Last Legend is the only company that has a "you break it, we replace it free" blade warranty* on our 3000 and 4000 series blades. Maybe that's because none of our blades have broken.
