Kitari Thrusting Sword

The Kitari Thrusting Sword debuts in Iron Gold as a refined, close-quarters weapon that marks a shift toward precision and adaptability in the Red Rising Saga's escalating conflicts. Worn in a hip scabbard and paired with the hasta razor, its short blade excels at piercing strikes while the blunted handle enables non-lethal control in chaotic skirmishes. This design reflects the saga's evolving combat philosophy, favoring calculated efficiency over brute force as alliances fracture and personal duels intensify. Across the series, it underscores the tactical maturation of its wielders amid the Golds' fractured empire.
