Overview[]
While Kannagiri had no special powers of its own, the blade speaks for extreme manmade sharpness and hardness. This sword used to belong to a samurai named Katada Matagoro in Oumi province to cut down a youkai who had disguised as a carpenter, and split the the blade of the youkai into two vertical halves. It name was later recorded in the Kyoho Meibutsu Cho, an old catalogue of the most renowned swords.
