Sandai Kitetsu

Cursed swords have a long life in Japanese folklore, and this one carries that reputation into anime: a katana whose name is spoken with respect and a little dread, the third blade in a line of famously unlucky steel. The sculpt follows the classic shape, with a long gently curved blade, a defined ridge running its length, and a guard and bound grip at the base. This sits at the cosplay and display end of the hobby rather than the tabletop one. Built for a costumed convention appearance, mounted on a stand behind a desk, or hung on a wall as part of an anime shelf, it gives you the silhouette a fan will recognise from across a room. The unpainted print is a starting point rather than a finished piece, which suits makers who want to take it towards a screen-accurate build or somewhere more stylised of their own.
