Katana 101 Part 5

This is another zanpakuto I have in my collection. Sadly its not Ichimaru Gin's Seisho. So this is a new zanpakuto from the anime. Anyway this zanpakuto is all black like Ichigo's.(Perhaps its his but I picked the wrong hand guard). This zanpakuto is really long. Measured at 120cm, longer than my longest Daito.




Again, in bleach no one has the same hand guard not even for its unseat officers.


Even its blade it black all the way. Definitely Zangetsu in Bankai mode

This zanpakuto is way longer than Rukia's Sode No Shirayuki.


Next is my Jigoku Shoujo themed Boken so stay tuned.

Katana 101 Part 4

Im really happy so I cant wait not to post it. Just bought it this afternoon from my no.1 wooden katana supplier, CH =D.

Now lets see whats inside this box.
Yeah I know, my floor needs some serious vacuuming.


Behold the content. Complete with plastic bag.



Wow...its sooooo white.


The handle.


The knob (its the string tied on the cover)


Now the most important part in Bleach. The hand guard. For all zanpakuto, the hand guard are not the same in awaken mode (after the name being pronounce).


Its totally awesome. I just love it.

This katana is from Bleach, Rukia Kuchiki, in its true form. And its name is...uhh...someone help...


Thank you Rukia for helping me =)


Well thats all for now so stay tune for more...

Katana 101 Part 3

Well these are not katanas but I label it cause katana means sword in japanese so lets just leave it that way.

This one I have problems with. I have no idea from which anime it is and I'm not even sure if this is a sword to begin with. So I need your help to identify this sword.


I'll put it on my table so you can see it clearly.


Doesnt look like a sword huh?


Now the next one is Reneissance Europe favourite weapon, the rapier.


En Guard!

Well its not from Europe but made here in our beloved country Brunei. It's a letter opener. I bought it from a souvenir shop.



Now a group photo of all my mini katanas/swords.

Wonder what will I get next for my collection.


Next collection... Should it be 1:1 katana or tinier katanas. Lets just wait and see.

Katana 101 Part 2

Now for my next collection in line is Bleach Kurasaki Ichigo's zanpakuto, Zangetsu.

Quite a nice box ain't it. Lets see whats inside.

Its a steel Zangetsu.

It's quite heavy. Too bad the cloth is steel too. If it was real cloth it would be super awesome.

Looks like it was made for the Jump festival in 2005. Lucky me to have it without have to go there :)

I'm not sure about the length so lets measure it.

Total length about 21cm.

Katana 101 Part 1

Sorry for my long silence from updating my blog. Now Im back and lets get down to business. Im gonna share you one of my greatest passion, Katana collecting. I just love em and who dosent?

1st Im gonna show you my prized mini letter opener katana. It was created to imitate the real 1:1 size katana

This is it. The cover is made from wood, the handle is wrapped by nylon and the blade is from stainless steel.

Even the collar was made in detailed.

The only down side of the mini katana was the length was far shorter than the cover.

As you can see the blade was even polish and given the impression as it was as sharp as the real ones.

As you can see the size of the katana is similar to a gundam 1/100 size weapon.


Well thats for now. Stay tune for more ^^
