Dragonfly Katana
The Japanese samurai sword “Roiyaru Tonbo”, meaning “Royal Dragonfly” in Japan, is crafted from clay-tempered T10 steel (genuine hamon) using traditional handwork techniques. The blade is polished with sand and finely sharpened with Japanese waterstones. This katana comes with a black, pigmented hardwood saya adorned with buffalo horn elements and a water droplet design. The handle is classically covered in real ray skin and tightly wrapped in Japanese silk.
The superior craftsmanship and the high-quality, matte black saya with buffalo horn tips make this Japanese katana a true standout in the mid-price range.
„I would rather give up my life than tarnish my name.“
(Miyamoto Musashi)
