Ryujin 41 1/2″ 65Mn Spring Steel Choji Tsunami Katana Hand Forged Sword – Artist Bronze/Black Splatter Graphic

The Choji Tsunami Katana by Ryujin Swords is an attractive, fully functional cutting sword with attractive brass fittings in a classic ‘tsunami’ theme suitable for the dojo, display or the backyard.

Made from 65mn Spring Steel (hard-wearing manganese steel), the blade of this sword has been differentially hardened to produce a genuine hamon. It is then hand polished and carefully acid etched to bring out the detail that is normally only possible using Japanese finger stones. The end result is a lively Choji hamon pattern that highlights the interplay between the yakiba (the hardened part) and the rest of the blade – giving it the hard and sharp cutting edge the Katana is well known for as well as the shock-absorbing qualities necessary to survive the heat of battle.

The sword is complimented by a saya with Tsumakure finish on glossy black with two-toned sageo.
