Features of the Ryujin Katana
The Katana Ryujin is a stunning tribute to the power and majesty of dragons in Japanese culture. Combining exquisite craftsmanship with functional design, this Katana is perfect for collectors and martial artists seeking a weapon that embodies both elegance and performance.
Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
The composite blade of the Katana Ryujin features a T10 steel core, valued for its exceptional strength and resilience, encased within an outer layer of Damascus steel. This dual-layered construction produces a mesmerising, rippling hamon—a hallmark of traditional forging techniques. The hamon is not just an aesthetic feature but a reflection of expert tempering, which ensures the blade’s flexibility and hardness, making it resistant to wear while retaining a razor-sharp edge. This blade is a masterpiece of balance, offering outstanding durability and cutting performance.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The intricately sculpted iron tsuba is adorned with dragon motifs, celebrating the legendary creatures that symbolise strength, protection, and wisdom in Japanese folklore. Made from robust iron, the tsuba is designed to endure years of use while adding an artistic dimension to the Katana. Its detailed engravings enhance the weapon’s mythical allure, making it a standout feature.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
Crafted from solid lacquered wood, the saya provides reliable protection for the blade while exuding understated elegance. The lacquer finish not only enhances the visual appeal but also shields the wood from moisture and environmental damage, ensuring the scabbard’s longevity. The saya’s clean and polished design reflects the strength and simplicity of traditional Japanese aesthetics.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
The tsuka, made from magnolia wood, is wrapped in genuine ray skin (shagreen), a material revered for its durability and non-slip texture. This ensures a secure and comfortable grip during use, even over extended periods. The shagreen not only enhances functionality but also adds a luxurious, authentic touch, further elevating the Katana’s aesthetic and practical appeal.
Dimensions
The Katana Ryujin features a blade length of 52 cm and a total length of 78 cm, making it a slightly more compact option. This size offers excellent manoeuvrability without compromising on performance or visual impact, making it equally suited for martial arts practice or as an impressive display piece.
