9 New Swords For Customization

Get ready for battle with your favorite Japanese sword. Now you will have 9 new swords that you can customize completely in 3D directly from the application and receive it at your doorstep!

Now, in addition to the Katana sword, you can also customize in real time:

Katana:

The Traditional and iconic Katana sword, known as the weapon of choice of the Samurai warrior,

Wakizashi:

A smaller, faster sword ideal for fleeting and precise strikes — the katana’s best friend.

Tanto:

A short-sword made for fleeting, unstoppable attacks in close quarters.

Ninjato:

A straight-bladed ninja sword, used by the shinobi of Feudal Japan.

Nodachi:

The monstrous sword with a blade so large that its mere presence strikes fear into the hearts of its opponents.

Nagamaki:

A balanced sword, with a handle almost as long as its blade – unbeatable in skilled hands.

Shirasaya Katana:

All the elegance of the Shirasaya mount with the perfect katana blade – available in curved and straight versions.

Shirasaya Wakizashi:

The sleek shirasaya mount combined with the convenient blade of a wakizashi- available in curved and straight versions.

Shirasaya Tanto:

A combination of the discretion of the Shirasaya with the portability of the Tanto to create a tactical short sword- available in curved and straight versions.

Tamahagane Steel: the ‘Jewel Steel’

The legendary steel used by the greatest samurai in the past, now at your fingertips and available for customization in full 3D.

Tamahagane is one of the rarest steels in the world: it can only be obtained with a certain type of material and through a complex process.

Its particular luster has even made it known as ‘Jewel Steel’.

It is the same steel used by elite samurai in the past for their swords – from Musashi to Masamune.

Strong, hard, and fast.

When you hold a Tamahagane sword, you hold a piece of samurai history.

Real-Time Customization with Instant Loading

Thanks to the hard work of the entire development team, it’s now real. You can now customize your own sword in full quality with no waiting time!

Our samurais have optimized the software to eliminate all waiting times.

No more loading screens!

No more models that take a long time to appear!

Now customizing your own sword is easier, faster and more fun than ever.

New Features: Kiriha Zukuri & Double Bo-Hi

Two new features come to the APP to really create the sword of your dreams.

Kiriha Zukuri Kissaki:

Now you can choose the tip you want for your sword, either the classic curved shape or the Kiriha Zukuri style pointed tip.

The Kiriha Zukuri tip is as elegant as it is menacing — it will give your sword an incredible look and slightly better performance when performing thrusts.

Double Bo-Hi:

In addition to the single bohi (also known as blood groove), Now you can also add a double Bo-Hi  to the blade of your sword.

The double Bo-Hi is a bit of a different construction, which further helps reduce the weight of the sword, allowing lightning-fast moves, while increasing balance for more precise strikes.

The Bo-Hi helps the sword emits a particular sound when cutting through the air – which acts as feedback to let you know when you are using it well.

Custom Size for All Swords

The next level in sword customization is here.

Drag the blade length bar to modify the size of your sword — choose the perfect length according to your needs.

Thanks to the new, faster interface, you can now also visualize the length customization in real time to see the proportion of the sword on a 2d model.

*Please note that it will only support 2D customization of size and it will not reflect on the 3D model, but it is enough to give you a sense of sizing proprtions.
