Each blade is meticulously crafted to honor both the spirit of the film and authentic Japanese sword-making traditions.
"I am finished doing what I swore an oath to God 28 years ago to never do again. I've created 'something that kills people.' And in that purpose, I was a success." - Hattori Hanzo, Kill Bill
