More from KyoteTheDamphyre
That's right, I made a reference sheet for Kyote's sword, Shin-Okami (Death Wolf). Someone asked me if Shin-Okami had magical powers. It sort of does, but its special ability relies on Kyote, and it only comes into effect if he is the one wielding it. Shin-Okami's strength is reliant on Kyote's willpower. If he has a strong will, he is able to slice through steel like butter. If he shows hesitation, doubt, or weakness in spirit, the edge of the blade dulls, and is no more useful than an overgrown butter knife.
Info That I couldn't add due to lack of space includes:
-The blade is made of tamahagane, folded with silver for effectiveness against vampires and lycans.
-The scabbard is made from Japanese magnolia, laquered black with a shiny, piano-like finish.
-Kissaki type is Chu-kissaki (medium size), Boshi is O-maru (large turn-back)
-Blade is widest at the base (1-1/4") and tapers off to right before the curve of the tip (1")
-The menuki are gold-plated shakudo running wolves. The wolves run toward the blade. The placement is gyaku (reversed; omote menuki near the kashira and ura menuki near the fuchi) for a more solid and comfortable grip.
-Two bamboo mekugi pegs for added security.
Gawd, so much sword-jargon ^^; Sorry guys

Not trying to nitpick, and sorry if I come over as offensive or anything, as such is not my intention but...
Silver is a relatively soft metal, a sword purely made out of silver would not be able to withstand blows from other swords made from steel and the likes. Of course I have read the part that the blade's strength is depending on willpower but...still, it was something I wanted to comment on. A different approach would be tamahagane steel (commonly used for katana's) with a layer of silver. :3
Again, sorry if I seem nitpicky.
