The Tsurugi Curve is similar to the uniquely designed straight Tsurugi, but is a much more aggressive impulse-hardened blade in popular sizes which will still fit into tight crotches without damage to opposing limbs. The Tsurugi is possibly the lightest weight, best balanced "big saw" ever produced, having no handle screws, nuts or extraneous hardware to keep it together. The comfortable, 2-part rubber grip is held together by an ingenious integration with the full tang blade. The Tsurugi Curve comes in a unique aluminum scabbard that can be attached to the belt or leg, depending on the users preference, and has eight rollers protecting the entryway.
