1 Okita's weapon purchase Fri Jun 29, 2012 10:21 am
Okita
D-rank
Name: Katana
Type Of Weapon: Fine Katana
Rank: B
Elemental Alignment: -
Ability/Function: Its a very sharp and durable blade, as all wel made katana's. It has some difference that influence's the way it slashes, however. The microscopic holes on the blade are built horizontally over the blades sides. While they couldn't even be seen with naked eye as well due the slightly bent angle as the blade gets a little thicker at the blunt side their pretty much undetectable. What these holes does is channel air. They are placed out specifically to even out the friction between the slash and air passing trough to make it exactly as fast as a regular fine katana. What's the difference you might ask? Simple, the air tunnels lead the air, the blade has to obviously move trough, slightly sideways. The effect of this is sort of a broader air path following the actual slash line. The air coming after the slash is 1-2cm thick, depending on the strength of the slash.
The flow of air makes expands the cuts caused by the blade. This means a cut by this katana would leave an open wound twice as wide as a normal wound. Other than that the air path can be used to make deflection of thrown tiles easier ( rank C and less), due to the blades nature to repulse objects when slashed. Technically a slash that would slightly miss the tile could still redirect it enough to miss or hit a bit away from the targeted area.
Close/Long Range: Short
Appearance: A katana with a 70 cm long blade and 20 cm long handle. It looks just like a typical well made katana. The only difference you could spot would require a microscope or enhanced eyesight. In this case you would actually see the blade has some almost microscopical holes running horizontally over the blade.
I was told as an Akako with kenjutsu specialty I start out with a free one.
