Are these cursed sword replicas full-tang construction?
Updated Feb 2026
Yes. The Shusui and Sandai Kitetsu replicas in this collection are built with full-tang construction, meaning the steel extends continuously from blade tip through the entire length of the handle. This is the preferred construction method for serious display pieces because it eliminates the weak joint point found in partial-tang designs, giving the replica structural integrity that matches its visual weight. The tsuka is assembled around the tang and secured with a mekugi pin, following the construction logic of traditionally assembled Japanese swords. For display purposes, full-tang construction also means the sword maintains proper balance in the hand when taken off the stand.
