Takaramaru (Treasure) (On Hold)
For our first offering here at Jingu, we have a fully custom 1050 blade from Oniforge, mounted battle-style. The suede katate maki ito provides excellent grip and the Hanjiro tsuba prevents the blade from rolling if it hits the ground. The two holes at the back of the tsuba are apparently there to loop a string through enabling one to tie the sword to their hand to prevent it from being lost in battle.
