The Seven Swords of the Mist

Legend of the Swords:
Long ago in the Land of Water there was a famous blacksmith. This blacksmith was known for making weapons with special powers of one sort or another. The blacksmith had a special jutsu that could imbue weapons with different powers to make them somewhat of a legend to the world. Before the blacksmith died he passed on the swords that follow.

Legendary Swords:

 * Kubikiribōchō (首斬り包丁, Viz: Executioner's Blade, Literally meaning: Decapitating Carving Knife): A giant sword with a butcher-knife-like appearance, the wielder can use the semi-circle on the blade to decapitate an opponent's head, hence the name. The sword has an ability to regenerate using the iron absorbed from the blood of those it cuts down. It is also called a "Seversword" (断刀, Dantō).
 * Samehada (鮫肌, Literally meaning: Shark Skin): The most terrifying of the seven blades, it has the appearance of a giant knife covered in shark scales. It is a sentient, living weapon and has the ability to "eat" chakra. It is also called a "Greatsword" (大刀, Daitō).
