The black blade features unique lightning wavy grooves to give it an aggressive look. The handle has black aluminum scales with stainless liners and backspacer. The design of this knife is to resemble the helmet first used by ancient Japanese warriors, and in later periods, they became an important part of the traditional Japanese armor worn by the samurai class and their retainers in feudal Japan.
