The original swords from Project X Japanese<\/a> were and still are what we feel are well balanced and aesthetically pleasing designs – but with the ability to customize them it’s possible to create a truly unique, one of a kind personalized sword using one of this swords as a base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of our most popular swords is Model # 006 (the Dragon Blade)<\/a> as it has a wide range of very attractive and original themed Koshirae (fitting sets: Tsuba, Fuchi, Kashira and Menuki) as well as great looking saya. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mixing and matching just a few of the components and we get, well – we get this stunning original sword designed by one of our customers from the first trial run of 20 swords..<\/p>\n\n\n\n
