As soon as we opened this Ryumon practical katana we were blown away by the meticulous attention to detail. This sword has a little bit of everything, yet it does not appear bloated or "slapped together". The features flow very well with each other to make a well rounded and unique katana. Most noticeable (and functional) is the double edged, high polished, and sharpened 1095 blade. Other features include a Japanese sunburst Tsuba, dragon blade engraving, real ray skin handle, leather wrapping, dual peg construction, and package of Ryumon accessories.

About Masahiro and Ryumon:
For more than 2600 years, the "City of Treasure Sword", Longquan, is known for making the best swords in the world. Located within the border of South Zhejiang, and under the Fengyang Mountain, Longquan is rich in resources which are ideal for crafting swords.
During the period of Warring States (770-476 B.C.), a famous sword maker named Ou Yezi created the most renowned sword in Longquan. Since then, the secret arts of crafting swords have been passed down from generation to generation.
Ryumon and Masahiro swords are hand forged by master craftsmen with years of experience from Longquan. These master sword smiths combine modern knowledge with traditional secrets to produce superior quality swords known for their durability, sharpness, and exquisite craftsmanship.
