The Katana Ryuza 竜座, forged in high-quality T10 steel, stands out for its sanbon sugi hamon, a wavy temper line running along the blade, a sign of skilled craftsmanship. T10 steel is known for its high hardness and wear resistance, making it a durable choice for a collector's sword.

The copper guard (tsuba 鍔), shaped like a dragon, is a tribute to strength and courage as well as an artistic piece that adds aesthetic and symbolic value to the katana. The fineness of its sculpting gives a secure grip and improves the overall balance of the sword.

The scabbard (saya 鞘) is a masterpiece of craftsmanship, in lacquered wood engraved and painted with a majestic dragon. This deep, rich motif strengthens the spiritual and cultural link with Japanese tradition while protecting the blade elegantly.

The handle (tsuka 柄) is wrapped in genuine white rayskin, a material prized for its toughness and unique texture, which gives a comfortable and secure grip. The addition of copper menuki and bamboo mekugi reinforces the structural integrity of the katana and adds a refined finish.

This Katana Ryuza pays tribute to the ancestral skills of Japanese swordsmiths, combining art and function. It is a fine piece for collectors and martial arts practitioners alike.

Buying a sword in the UK

Sold only to adults aged 18 and over. Curved swords with a blade of 50 cm or more are hand-forged using traditional methods, as required by the Criminal Justice Act 1988 (Offensive Weapons) Order as amended in 2008.

Carrying a bladed article in a public place without good reason is an offence. Transport your sword wrapped, and only for a legitimate purpose (dojo, re-enactment, collection). Rules may differ in Scotland.

Care

Wipe the blade after every handling with a soft cloth; never touch it with bare fingers.
Apply a thin film of oil every few weeks to prevent rust.
Store it horizontally in its saya, edge up, away from damp.
Use only on suitable practice targets (rolled tatami mats, bamboo); never strike hard objects.

The katana cuts well, the scabbard (saya) is magnificent, the guard (tsuba) is beautiful, the handle (tsuka) is a good length.
