Chikara (sword) TCG

Chikara was a chokutō, a straight sword of excepcional quality, the Ancestral Sword of the Crab Clan. Celestial Realms, p. 99
== Appearance and Abilities ==
The iron of this ancient sword was blended with powdered jade. Chikara never rust, never dull, and could not be taken apart. It was forged without a scabbard to represent the Crab's eternal vigilance, but it became tradition for a new scabbard, reflecting the attitudes of the new wielder, to be commissioned each time the sword changed hands. The old scabbard was burned in the pyre at the former champion's funeral. 
== Forged ==
The sword was forged by Kaiu for the gempuku of Hida's second son, Osano-wo. It became customary for the rightful heir of the Crab Clan Champion to carry Chikara. Because Kaiu took most of his forging secrets to the grave, the Kaiu family found it necessary to reverse engineer his techniques over the course of centuries, and Chikara was an essential part of that task.
