NAME: Saikou Kikite (Highest Listener)
DESCRIPTION: A very long and heavy Odachi (6 ft 6 inches long, 173 lbs). The sword is made of an extremely hard and dense black-colored metal, much harder than steel, that is extremely hard to meld. Because the blade is obnoxiously long and due to the extremely dense metal it is made of, this sword is extremely heavy making a simple swing devastating should the wielder be able to lift the weapon. Furthermore because of the blade's density the weight is balanced towards the tip of the sword making it more probable that the sword will cleave rather than simply cut an opponent. Due to the metal's density the edge of the sword is not refined like a normal katana's edge. The edge is in fact rippled with tiny ridges down the length of the blade. The sword sports a cross-guard in the shape of an ear-piece.
SPECIAL CAPABILITIES: Cuts made by this sword are not "clean" as a result of the sword's unique edge and heavy weight. Because of the sword's "shredding", wounds made by it tend to bleed more and be more painful along with a little blunt force that comes with the cuts. The sword also possess to magnify weak sound waves. By pointing the sword upward and placing his ear next to the ear-piece, Harvey is able to peak up sounds from miles away, even Den Den Mushi transmissions can be heard while using this ability.
HISTORY:The sword was personally made for Harvey (will be posted after approval) by a legendary blacksmith.
