I was born on the same night as my older sister, under a sky saturated with stars, when the fire of the forge seemed to respond to the silence of the firmament. Shorter, closer to the body and the heart, I was forged from the same layered steel, folded and refolded until I carried within me a dense and intimate memory. Polished by hand, my patterns appear like a tight constellation, revealing a true hamon that winds along my blade. Clay tempering gave me, as it did her, this essential duality: a hard and precise edge, a more flexible mune, and those misty waves that herald the dawn. Where she looks to the horizon, I am made for the decisive moment, for the right gesture, brief and controlled.
My mount responds to hers like a reflection in calm water. The saya, studded with discreet splinters, recalls the night sky of our birth, a firmament that seems closer here, almost whispered. At the belt, I watch over my sister when she rests, and when we are together, our dialogue becomes evident. She embodies the long path, continuity, and the teaching passed down from afar; I carry vigilance, rigor, and inner mastery. Together, we form a single legacy: two blades born under the same stars, united to ensure the continuity of the art of the sword and to connect the souls of the Ancients to those who still walk.

Katanas, swords, daggers and knives are now classified in category D. The purchase and possession of these weapons are unrestricted. In principle, they may not be carried or transported without legitimate reason. If transported, the weapon must not be "directly" usable. It must be securely packed in a case or container, preferably with a padlock or other protective system.
