Description
The Kinryū Katana – Golden Dragon blends elegance and authority. The black lacquer saya is adorned with a gilded dragon, symbol of prosperity and fearless spirit.
Blade (刀身): Forged from folded Damascus steel, the blade reveals a flowing grain that enhances its character and cutting performance, balanced for smooth draws and precise cuts.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔): A refined square copper tsuba bears traditional engravings, offering protection and a striking golden accent between blade and handle.
Handle (Tsuka 柄): Black cotton ito over white ray skin delivers a firm, comfortable grip. Subtle copper menuki nest beneath the wrap, evoking vigilance and strength.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘): The glossy black saya features a meticulously carved golden dragon and an ivory sageo cord, completing a dignified contrast worthy of display or keiko.
This katana channels the energy of the Kinryū—the Golden Dragon—uniting artistry and function in a timeless piece.
