Ryumon Bamboo Hand Forged Katana RY-3202

Ryumon Bamboo Katana - RY3202.

Ryumon has out done themselves with this custom hand carved and painted hard-wood saya with a meticulous bamboo scene on a deep black lacquered background.
The hand forged, fully functional, very hard, very sharp, AISI-1065 high carbon steel blade features a Bo Hi that really sounds when the sword is swung properly.
The HA (edge) is tempered using the traditional Japanese clay tempering technique to a HRC 56 and the back to a HRC 45. A true Hamon (temper Line) is evident along the HA (edge).
The hardwood handle is wrapped in top grade ray skin same and then covered in Japanese brown tsuk-aito cotton braid. The handle is then double pegged to the full tang for added safety. The saya is tied with Japanese brown cotton sageo.
