Description
The Kage no Ryū Katana (影の龍), or “Shadow Dragon,” channels the ferocity and wisdom of ancient Japanese dragons — guardians of balance between light and darkness.
Blade (刀身): Crafted from T10 high carbon steel, this katana bears a visible hamon created through traditional clay tempering. Its sharpness and resilience make it ideal for both collection and cutting practice.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔): The tsuba features an intricately carved dragon in motion, a timeless emblem of strength, prosperity, and vigilance. Finished in aged black alloy with golden highlights.
Handle (Tsuka 柄): Black ito wrapping reveals a golden underlayer of imitation stingray skin, echoing the fire of the dragon within. The menuki ornaments and mekugi pegs ensure solid construction and authenticity.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘): A true masterpiece — deep black lacquered saya with a raised golden dragon winding across clouds and flames, representing dominance over chaos and power over the elements.
The Kage no Ryū Katana unites darkness and light through its bold contrast of black and gold — a weapon of elegance and deadly grace worthy of the modern samurai.
