The Sakamoto Ryoma model is based on the "Karashishi Peony Tsuba", which is said to have been attached to the sword that he had at the time of the Terakoya incident, while using the motif of his beloved sword "Rikuokumori Yoshiyuki". On the other hand, Shinsaku Takasugi's model is modeled with the motif of his sword "Aki Kuni Saekiso Fujiwara Sadayasu" and is particular about the detailed design such as the brim.

In addition, each chopstick comes with a chopstick rest with a family crest that resembles a "sword stand". The Sakamoto Ryoma model has the "Kikyo mon on the combination corner" crest, and the Takasugi Shinsaku model has the "Maru ni split rhishi" crest.
