Ryū Katana
The Japanese samurai sword “Ryū Midori”, meaning “Green Dragon” in Japan, features a T10 steel blade that is clay-tempered to create a unique hamon. The blade is then polished with sand and honed with Japanese waterstones. This katana is handcrafted in traditional fashion and comes with a black and green saya made from hardwood, adorned with real ray skin and buffalo horn elements.
The exceptional craftsmanship, gold-plated brass tsuba, and the elegant appearance make this katana a standout piece among the high-end katana.
