Each The Ryumon Raijin Katana has a hand forged and folded AISI 1060 carbon steel blade meticulously crafted for a damascus look. Heat treated with traditional processes, the razor sharp edge has a hardness of roughly 57Rc and a softer spine (45Rc) to absorb shocks. A one-piece brass construction habaki (blade collar) enables the blade to fit securely into the saya (scabbard). The tsuba (guard) of this sword features a reproduction of "Raijin" (the god of thunder), based on the work of Tawaray Sontatsu, a master painter of the Edo period. The saya (scabbard) is lacquer to a super high gloss finish with inlaid brass sakura (cherry blossom flower). Authentic ray skin is used to wrap the tsuka (handle). Both the sageo and ito are woven from imported Japanese silk for a sleep and elegant look. The koiguchi (scabbard mouth) and kojiri (scabbard tip) are made with genuine water buffalo horn.

Each sword comes complete with hang tag, a silk sword bag, a cleaning kit, a reference guide, and a certificate of authenticity all packaged in a lacquer wooden box.
