Design Philosophy

The sword’s design is from Berserk, fan art based on Guts’ sword “The Dragonslayer”.

Special attention was given to the blade’s gradient and edge highlights, the ornamental guard design, and the wrapped handle details. Each element contributes to the overall narrative of a hero’s weapon—powerful yet refined.
