Kuro Setsuhen Wakizashi

Product Description

Kuro Setsuhen Wakizashi v2

Kuro Setsuhen (Black Snowflake) – Because no two snowflake have ever been found to be alike, they represent individuality, and their perfect geometric forms represent perfection. The snowflake is a very simple example of self-assembly. There is no blueprint or genetic code that guides the growth of a snowflake, yet marvelously complex structures appear, quite literally out of thin air. And this is what you can see on the Kuro Setsuhen Wakizashi.

The Kuro Setsuhen Wakizashi is a perfect companion for the Kuro Setsuhen Katana making them a daisho.
