Maruni Edition
The warrior’s first weapon. Aim, commitment, and the guardian’s intent. Once loosed, the arrow does not return.
Who carried the crossed arrows?
Long before the sword became its emblem, the warrior’s discipline in Japan was called kyūba no michi — the way of the horse and bow. The mounted archer came first.
Crossed arrows in a ring, chigai ya, became a family crest for houses that wanted that origin on their banners: a weapon that commits completely, and cannot be called back once released.
Maruni is nickel plated only. The two rifles differ by menpō — one red, one blue — and the blue rifle repeats its crest in silver Cerakote® on the stock.
2 firearms, each one of a kind.
Four tributes, one standard.
The heritage is what changes across the series. What every edition shares is the standard — and none of the hand finishing comes at the expense of the rifle.
Built to order in the SOT Custom Shop by our builders, to documented standards and processes, under the supervision of our Master Armorer.
Every firearm in the series is its own serial. No two are identical, and none is a run of a catalog item.
The maki gold and silver foil crests are laid by hand; the menpō masks are painted and blended by hand over Cerakote®.
Validated to the same protocol as every Second of Ten firearm. A piece of functional art is still a working rifle.
The three kamon editions — Maruni, Takanoha and Tokugawa — are built on Second of Ten’s direct-impingement house architecture on the Sharps Bros. Showdown billet lower. The Yasuke flagship is built on the Caracal CAR816 short-stroke gas-piston system. Every one is photographed on both sides; the serial is masked and nothing else is retouched.
