Samurai Series

Honoring the warrior spirit.

A working rifle designed to be a piece of functional high-end art. Eleven firearms across four editions, each built to order in the SOT Custom Shop and finished by hand — the maki gold and silver foil crests are laid by hand, the menpō masks painted and blended by hand over Cerakote® — so no two are identical and each is a one of a kind collectible. None of that is at the expense of the rifle: every one is photographed on both sides and published as an inspection page you can zoom to 8×, where rollmarks, staking and machining read off the photograph rather than off a spec table. The serial is masked; nothing else is retouched.

Four crests, four virtues
4 editions · 11 firearms

One warrior spirit, set in steel. Three editions — Maruni, Takanoha and Tokugawa — each honor a family crest, a kamon, and the warrior virtue it carries. The fourth is the flagship: the Yasuke — Black Samurai Edition, a tribute to the African retainer who earned the rank of samurai under Oda Nobunaga, built on the CAR816 short-stroke piston platform with the Oda mon and his name worked into the rifle. The heritage is what changes across the series — and, in the flagship, the platform beneath it. What every edition shares is the standard.

Four tributes, one standard. The heritage is what changes across the series. What every edition shares is the standard: hand-built by our master armorer, individually serialized, heritage marks engraved and finished by hand, and validated to the Bombproof by Design™ protocol. The three kamon editions are built on Second of Ten’s direct-impingement house architecture; the Yasuke flagship is built on the CAR816 short-stroke gas-piston system.
The tiles open inspection pages, not product pages. Each shows the specific firearm photographed, with the serial masked and no mark, blemish or tool witness retouched. Pricing and availability live in the store; these pages exist so a buyer can look before deciding.
