ALL MODELS STILL UNDER $300!
The 5th model in the acclaimed, cut atoms level sharp Swordier and SBG Tameshigiri series just introduced its second SBG exclusive member of the family (and added a cool option to ‘model 1’ (the Kazekiri, artist formely known as Model 1, heh).
It’s the same style of blade as the Flagship – Monotempered 65 Spring Steel, but with all black fittings and by popular request no hamon by default. But NOW you can choose if you want a fake hamon or prefer a plain blade. Both have this option now, no charge extra charge either way of course!
So now that each sword has a proper name, let’s meet them, starting with the cutter formerly known as model 1..
空の切り – Sora no Kiri – “The Void Cutter” (model 1a)
It’s black, it cuts the void itself, what other name could it have? Monotempered 65mn Spring Steel.

The Choice of Whether or not to have or not to have fake or no hamon is also available on model 1 too, the Kazekiri..
風斬り Kazekiri – ‘Air cutter’ (model 1)
Previously Model 1, the flagship the started it all off! We call it the KazeKiri because the sensation of cutting the target and cutting the air is often about the same.. It’s a weird sensation as it just sails through the targets frighteningly too easily.. Monotempered 65mn Spring Steel.
嵐刃 Arashijin – ‘Sword of Storms’ (model 2)
The theme is Raijin, god of storms and thunder. But rather than another ‘Raijin something something’ sword, we decided to go with the theme of what this fierce deity and blade represent. Monotempered 5160 Spring Steel, leather ito.
虎斬り Toragiri – Tiger Cutter (Model 3)
Who is hunting who here? The Samurai or the Tiger? If the Toragiri gets the first strike when it comes down to it, it’s game over for the tiger! But if the Tiger ambuses the samrai and his Haragei senses are off, no sword in the world will save him.. Differentially Hardened Suguha hamon (beautifully executed).
嵐波龍 Arashinami Ryu – Storm Wave Dragon (Model 4)
This was a hard one to name. You have Mt Fuji above a stormy sea, a Golden Dragon raging in the skies, a wild Choji hamon (real) and a tiger taking shelter in a bamboo grove. Thus, the Arashinami Ryu.
