Ronin Katana

Set includes:
Brass habaki
2x seppa
2x mekugi

NOTE: Filing work on the tang will probably be required to obtain a good fit for the habaki. These are not going to slide on perfectly.

Includes iron fuchi, kashira, and brass menuki. The handle has not been drilled. To install it, you would need to drill through the handle and tang of the blade and insert wood or metal mekugi (pins) of your choice. Alternatively, you can glue the handle to the tang.

Installation for katana blades not made by Ronin, may require filing on the tang, and/or shimming.

Length: 28.6 cm

This Ronin Elite katana has been traditionally forged and laminated in the soshu kitae tradition (seven panel steel). This school was developed by the legendary Japanese smith Masamune, and combines panels of hard, medium, and soft steels. The core of the blade is formed from softer, more malleable steel giving it exceptional flexibility. A layer of slightly harder steel is bonded to each side of the core to add support. The last layers are very hard steel bonded to the top, bottom, and both sides of the core forming the ha (cutting edge) mune (back edge) and shinogi-ji (blade flats). This form of laminar construction provided for a sword that could be sharpened to a razor edge due to the hardened steel used for the ha, but was extremely resilient to battle damage due to its softer more flexible core.
