Description and specifications
The Ryu no Kiba Katana, meaning "Fang of the Dragon", is a blade of unmatched elegance and power. Forged from tamahagane steel – the legendary material used by master swordsmiths of ancient Japan – it embodies the spirit of the dragon: wise, unstoppable and divine.
Every detail of this katana reflects harmony between beauty and strength. From the shimmering midare hamon to the hand-lacquered blue-and-gold saya, the Ryu no Kiba stands as a symbol of craftsmanship and honour.
SPECIFICATIONS
| Blade | Hand-forged tamahagane steel with refined folded grain (hada). Features a bright midare hamon (irregular wavy temper line) created through traditional clay tempering, resulting in a blade with extraordinary resilience and flexibility. Mirror-polished finish enhances its wave-like beauty under the light. |
| Tsuba (hand guard) | Exquisitely handcrafted copper tsuba depicting a golden dragon ascending through clouds. The intricate mix of blackened copper, gold and silver tones symbolises the balance of heaven and earth – offering both spiritual protection and unmatched aesthetic appeal. |
| Fittings | Blackened copper fittings with detailed dragon and cloud engravings and gold-inlaid accents, designed for durability and visual harmony. |
| Handle (Tsuka) | Wood core wrapped in deep indigo ito (cotton wrap) over authentic white ray skin (samegawa) for perfect grip, comfort and balance. |
| Scabbard (Saya) | Hand-lacquered blue and gold cracked finish (kawari-nuri) symbolising divine clouds and celestial energy. Each piece is individually polished for a high-gloss, mirror-like texture. |
| Overall length | 103 cm (40.55 inches) |
| Blade length | 71 cm (27.95 inches) |
| Handle length | 27 cm (10.63 inches) |
| Blade width | 3.2 cm (1.26 inches) |
| Weight | Approx. 1.4 kg (3.08 lb) |
DESCRIPTION
The Ryu no Kiba Katana captures the might and wisdom of the celestial dragon. Its tamahagane blade, clay-tempered and mirror-polished, radiates both beauty and precision. The detailed tsuba, featuring a dragon soaring through clouds, embodies the strength of nature and the balance between sky and earth.
Every aspect – from the dark indigo handle to the luminous blue-and-gold saya – has been crafted with reverence for traditional Japanese artistry. The result is a sacred symbol of discipline, spirit and timeless honour.
Majestic, divine and eternal – the Ryu no Kiba Katana carries the soul of the dragon.
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.
