Straight Blade Katana Novels & Stories

“Tell me more.” “A standard blade is either 1/2 inch or a full inch. You have to special order a 1/4 inch or get it from a certain brand. A 1/4 inch is more the size of a pocket knife or paring knife, none of which would make those marks.” “What does that tell us?” I was quiet for a moment. “Dad has a signature knife used for torture.” Cade nodded. “What else did you notice about the cuts?” “One side was jaggard, like it was a serrated, but not in a normal way. Almost like it is twisted. The other was straight, but at an angle.”

“For our leader.” Alex exhales slowly. “I didn’t ask to—” “We know,” Eve says. “That’s why they’re yours.” Mazikene unwraps the cloth. The blades catch the early light immediately. They’re a matched pair—slightly curved, long enough to demand respect but not so heavy they’d slow her. The steel is darkened, patterned subtly, like smoke trapped beneath the surface. The hilts are wrapped in deep red leather, worn in just enough places to suggest they were meant to be held, not displayed.

With a swift motion, as Alexander's request still hung in the air, Cirantaka yanked the alloy war saber from his waist and roared, "Mister Kane, here's your blade!" The blade was thus in Alexander's hand. It might not hold a candle to Alexander's own sword, but it was a worthy conduit for the storm of celestial power raging inside him, ready to unleash its fury. "This is bad!" The moment Alexander's fingers closed around the hilt, Takuya and the shadow warriors felt a surge of panic. In unison, they turned tail and bolted, desperate to escape.

‎ ‎A petal snapped outward—unsheathing a small, glistening blade. ‎ ‎Castelle gasped, her eyes widening. “It’s a knife?” ‎ ‎Kane held it delicately between his fingers, the gleam of the steel catching the light. “A stiletto blade. Balanced. Razor-sharp. Easy to hide.” ‎ ‎He pressed it back into its sheath, returning it to her hair with gentle fingers. ‎ ‎“Why?” she asked, breathless. “Why would you give me something like this?” ‎ ‎“Because, Castelle…” His eyes darkened as he cupped her cheek. “I won’t always be in the room. And if someone ever tries to hurt you, you won’t beg for help. You’ll bleed them.”

They were walking back to the castle when a shiny blade caught Kate’s eye. “Susanna, look at those,” Kate whispered, gesturing toward the blades. The proprietor stood to the side of the table. Hearing the girls talking, he stepped forward and held a blade out for them to inspect. “This one is pure silver, the handle made out of oak wood, solid and firm,” he said, holding the knife out toward Kate to inspect. Kate took the blade and looked it over. “Do you have any holsters? Something to hide under our clothing so we can carry the blade with us?” Susanna asked, gesturing toward his table.

It was almost the exact replica of Sinandaya’s weaponry room in every district. Hung up the ceiling were arrow canisters filled with, of course, the shafts. Arranged abreast the walls were blades of several different sizes. From daggers to swords, and axes to rapiers. Stocked surrounding the closed windows were spears, lancets, and halberds. I wouldn’t deny, but this place is somewhat… amusing than what’s in Sinandaya. My legs started moving and grabbed enough things it could get. And the minute my eyes nailed on the far corner left of the area, there was no second wasted as I swiftly approached the stand. Exquisite… the color and every detail on every part were what I call fantastic.

It was filled with copper, silver and gold royals, all to help supply them while they sought out allies. After Boro said his farewell and accepted the money, he quickly made himself busy checking out the two pack horses. He wanted to give Littume and Lord Jetir space for there farewells. He saw Jetir give his son a firm hug and share a few words with him. Then he saw Lord Jetir unwrap the cloth and from it pulled out an ornate brown and gold scabbard. The scabbard was too thick to belong to a rapier, and too wide to be a katan, the long slightly curved, single edge style sword that Boro himself used. This one was as wide as the width of his palm and had two edges to it. A broadblade, an olde

The blue jade he possessed was more of clan heirloom, for his mother that anyone of the Han Clan would have something that was made of it. X’s father once told to him, that the blade was made for his grandfather when he was old age. Thus the blade not not a sword, but more of machete than anything else. It was made so to reduce its weight, but its weaknesses could be straightened with supreme technique. The blade was almost rectangular, if it were not for the slight curvature. The spine of the blade was a little thicker than a wasabi pea. Even though the spine was so thick, the edge of the blade would rival the finest fibers. It had the ability to split hair in half, even a single fiber of s

To successfully kill a sanguidae one must cut out their heart using bloodstone, as it stops the heart from regenerating. I pull the blade from its scabbard and run my thumb against the blade, testing its sharpness by the amount of pressure I feel against the pad of my thumb. If I were a sanguidae – or almost any other being for that matter – the blade would have sliced right through my flesh. We put great time and effort into perfecting and maintaining the weapons we use, and this one is no exception. Once satisfied, I place it back into the scabbard and strap it to my back. “You always choose a katana, no matter what being we fight. I should have known you’d choose it again,” she says playf
