TOPS C.U.M.A. Kage [KAGE-01]

TOPS C.U.M.A. Kage [KAGE-01]

The KAGE (Pronounced KU-MA KA-GAY), means "Shadow" in Japanese. The name is drawn from one of the designer's lifelong passions, GI JOE: the Arashikage (Storm Shadow) Clan. SIJO Waysun Johnny Tsai is a lifelong martial artist and world-renowned self-defense instructor. Riding off the success of his wildly popular TOPS Knives release, the C.U.M.A. TAK-RI, and its connection to the GI JOE Ninja Commando Snake Eyes, Sijo wanted to create something that he has sought after since his childhood, a functional Snake Eyes Sword.

The TOPS CUMA Kage is an honest-to-goodness short sword. It was designed by Sijo Waysun Johnny Tsai, a true expert in martial arts and edged weapons. The sword is made of 1/4" thick 1095 high carbon steel, so it's tough as nails. The edge is straight for the most part, making parrying moves easy, but the tip of the blade has what looks like a mini kukri, adding weight and cutting power to the forte. If you've always wanted a sword that was worthy of the modern battlefield, but have been continually let down by cheap stuff from the mall, the CUMA Kage is for you!.

15.5" (39.37cm) black traction coated 1095HC steel blade. Designed by renowned martial artist, survivalist, and self-defense instructor; Sijo Waysun Johnny Tsai.
