The Ryumon Okinawa Practical Katana has a hand forged and folded AISI 1060 high carbon steel blade tempered in the traditional clay method, which produces a hard and extremely sharp Ha (Cutting edge), and a resilient spine. These great Masters who have been making swords for over 2000 years forge and polish the sword to reveal it's beautiful Hamon (temper line) and Hada (grain pattern). Each iron tsuba is traditionally detailed and has a gun metal finish. The wood saya is deeply lacquered with a glossy black finish and is tied with an imported Japanese cotton sageo. The tsuka (handle) is wrapped with authentic Same (rayskin) and imported Japanese cotton. These Samurai Swords are spectacular and well crafted and an excellent addition to any and all collections.
