Storm Shadows Sword from G.I. Joe


We took a look at the Snake Eyes sword, but it would not be complete without looking at the Storm Shadows sword as well, as the two really do go hand in hand!

As many of you sword fans already know, Storm Shadow is a fictional character from the G.I. Joe series and television shows and is best known for his history with fellow ninja Snake Eyes. Throughout their history, the duo have been everything to one another from the bitterest of enemies, to the most loyal of friends (and blood brothers of course) who would fight and die for one another.

For those of you who want a bit more information, here you go! Storm Shadow’s real name is Thomas S. Arashikage. Arashi means “Storm” and Kage means “Shadow” in Japanese, which tells you how he got his name. Storm Shadow is the only member of the team to change sides several times as he is conflicted in loyalties between Cobra, G.I. Joe and his strong relationship with his brother, Snake Eyes.

Storm Shadow usually wears a white uniform and a mask and when you do see him out of his uniform, he is usually shown to be Japanese-American with black hair and dark eyes. He is a great ninja warrior and is a covert ops specialist as well, so he is a very useful member - to either side!

This is a great sword for display as it is a stainless steel half white blade that comes unsharpened. It also has a ninja clan symbol engraved on the balde and a cobra head guard and the white handle has twin cobra heads. It also comes with a really cool white scabbard.
