The Battle Blade - The Mikusa Family of Competition katana swords

last legend dragon katana sword

• The Mikusa Family of Competition katanas with 1.0 inch sori from Last Legend

last legend mikusa 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 Mikusa family firmly departs from all previous Last Legend blades in all design criteria's.

The Mikusa katana family - The Mikusa family of blades are similar to the Yashima family.  This is a Keicho Shinto style blade with an aggressive sori.  Here is a quick fighter with a light feel.  This blade is torizori with full niku, a striking masame hada in the folded blade, a dramatic taper from machi to yokote, and a longer chu kissaki.  This blade will combine the cutting ability of the pro cutter series with the agility of the battle series.

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.

 

Available in Katana, Wakizashi, and Iaito models.

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.

With most production swords, if you get a long handle all you end up getting is a hand full of wood because they use the same short tangs on all the handles (one size fits all). With Last Legend blades each tang is custom made to fit the handle you've chosen. With a Last Legend sword, you're always holding a massive amount of steel.

*Last Legend's Free "You Break It, They Replace It" blade warranty is included on all 3000 and 4000 series swords. Basically, the blade is warranted against breakage during the normal course of dojo practice or competition involving the cutting of "properly prepared Goza mat or like material". The blade is not covered if you try to cut a Buick in half or if an untrained, non martial artist tries to impersonate their favorite samurai movie; as much as they believe in their blades, they know you can't overcome the laws of physics. The warranty is there to provide the customer with peace of mind should they make the ultimate mistake during dojo practice or competition. The warranty covers the replacement of the blade only, and will be replaced with the exact blade if that design is still in production, or if that design is no longer in production, a blade with the closest geometry. The new blade will be fitted to the existing handle and furniture. The warranty will only replace a broken blade once during the life of the sword. The only time limits to this warranty are as follows. This free warranty will be in effect as long as Last Legend is producing katanas, or until the founder of the company dies or retires, because we doubt that a new CEO would be this generous--certainly no other sword company is.
