Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
The blade of the Katana Ryuza, forged from T10 steel, offers outstanding hardness and wear resistance. The sanbon sugi hamon, with its signature wave-like pattern, is more than an eye-catching design—it’s the hallmark of the expert differential hardening process that ensures durability and precision. Whether used for cutting practice or display, the blade delivers razor-sharp cuts and consistent performance over time.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The copper tsuba, sculpted in the form of a dragon, symbolises wisdom, strength, and protection—qualities deeply rooted in Japanese culture. Designed to provide effective hand protection, the tsuba also contributes to the Katana’s balance, enhancing its handling. The intricacy of the dragon motif elevates the tsuba to a piece of art, adding cultural depth and meaning to the sword’s design.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
The lacquered wooden saya is a standout feature, beautifully engraved and painted with a majestic dragon motif. This imagery embodies power and guardianship, enhancing the cultural significance of the Katana. The lacquer finish not only preserves the wood but also gives the scabbard a polished appearance, ensuring the blade remains protected while adding a sophisticated aesthetic.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
Wrapped in genuine white shagreen, the tsuka ensures a comfortable and secure grip. The textured shagreen surface provides excellent traction, making it suitable for extended practice sessions. Copper menuki are subtly embedded into the handle, offering both a decorative element and improved grip. The mekugi, crafted from bamboo, secure the blade firmly to the handle, ensuring the structural integrity and reliability of the sword.

Its T10 steel blade with a distinctive sanbon sugi hamon, dragon-themed copper tsuba, and intricately decorated saya make it a remarkable representation of Japanese craftsmanship.
