Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
Made from T10 steel, known for its superior hardness, the blade of the Katana Ryuza offers exceptional wear resistance. The sanbon sugi hamon, with its striking wave-like pattern, is not only visually stunning but also a mark of the careful differential hardening process.

The intricate detailing elevates it to a work of art, making the tsuba a unique and symbolic feature of the Katana.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
The saya, made from lacquered wood, is a masterpiece of Japanese craftsmanship. Beautifully engraved and painted, it depicts a majestic dragon, symbolising power and protection. The careful attention to detail in this design reflects a deep connection to Japanese traditions and legends. The scabbard not only protects the blade but also enhances the overall aesthetic, transforming it into a cultural and spiritual extension of the weapon.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
Wrapped in genuine white shagreen, the tsuka offers both durability and a secure, comfortable grip, essential for extended use. The textured surface ensures a firm hold during practice. Copper menuki, subtly embedded within the handle, add an additional touch of elegance, while the bamboo mekugi ensure the structural integrity of the Katana, providing a solid and reliable connection between the blade and the handle.
