Originally one of the winning sword designs from the 'Legendary Swords' Fantasy sword series, we are delighted to be able to offer this stunning and truly unique, fun sword once again - with even better quality improvements at no extra cost (actually, it's more affordable now than ever before).

Made from expertly tempered and sharpened 65mn Spring Steel, the blade is strong enough to withstand frequent cutting practice and maintain its razor sharp edge. The false edge is also sharpened 1/4 of its length, though not to the same degree as the cutting portion of the blade. Fittings are wood core with a cotton Japanese style 'itomaki' battle wrap - and the blade and handle are mated together by a large heavy counterbalancing brass blade collar and guard.

The designer, Rayhan Alfatta, did a full review on the SBG Sword Forum here and describes the handling of the Castir in some detail.

Here is a brief except:

A local martial arts practitioner I personally know (the owner of Thai Boxing Bandung, Joko Setiawan) held the Castir and used it like a Katana, a Machete, and an oversized Cavalry Sabre, transitioning between forms, stances and using both edges in mock attacks without skipping a beat. He had this to say:

“If I’m in a battlefield, I want this thing on my side. This is better than a Katana!!”

High praise indeed, so while this is a fantasy weapon, it is fully functional - THIS IS MOST DEFINITELY NOT A TOY.
