{"product_id":"kotetsu-knife-re9-resident-evil-requiem","title":"Kotetsu Knife RE9 – Resident Evil Requiem Replica With Leather Sheath","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis Kotetsu knife RE9 piece is a handmade replica of the Kotetsu, Grace Ashcroft's unbreakable knife from Resident Evil Requiem. It has a 7\" weathered high carbon steel blade, a wrapped leather grip over an open loop handle and a 12\" overall length. It arrives sharp with a leather sheath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eGrace's Unbreakable Knife in Resident Evil Requiem\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eResident Evil Requiem, the ninth main entry in the series, came out on February 27, 2026, and splits its story between newcomer Grace Ashcroft and Leon S. Kennedy. Grace's knives wear down and break as she uses them, so the Kotetsu stands out. It's a bonus item unlocked after finishing the game, and the in-game description captures its appeal: it looks like a crude, makeshift blade but is so well made that it never breaks. For many players it's the RE9 unbreakable knife that makes Grace's close encounters far less stressful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat rough-built look is exactly what this replica follows.

A hex bolt is set through the base of the blade, part of the improvised, pieced-together character that makes the Kotetsu recognizable. The spine flows into a twisted, hand-worked neck that leads to the handle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 5\" handle is an open loop frame wrapped in tan leather strips, wound tightly in crossing layers for a firm, textured grip. The bare steel loop shows at the end of the handle, completing the makeshift look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCaring for High Carbon Steel\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHigh carbon steel takes a keen edge and is easy to resharpen, but it can rust if left damp. Wipe the blade dry after handling and add a light coat of oil now and then; the aged finish is part of the design, so there's no need to polish it. Keep the leather wrap dry, and store the knife outside its sheath for long periods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor more pieces from your favorite games, explore our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/gaming-knives-replica\"\u003evideo game knife replicas\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Unique Blades Runner","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67895105192114,"sku":null,"price":129.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0694\/3109\/9570\/files\/Kotetsu_knife_RE9_replica_with_weathered_blade_and_tan_leather_wrapped_loop_handle.png?v=1793865248","url":"https:\/\/www.uniquebladesrunner.store\/products\/kotetsu-knife-re9-resident-evil-requiem","provider":"Unique Blades Runner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
