Katana Murasaki Ryuu 紫竜

This katana, baptized by its crimson-colored steel and dragon engravings, is a striking piece that captures the essence of ancient warrior tradition with a contemporary twist.

Blade (刀身): The 1060 steel used for the blade is known for its balance of resilience and cutting ability, made even more unique by a non-traditional purple dye. The dragon engraving not only adds to its striking aesthetic, but also symbolizes power and wisdom in Japanese culture.

Guard (Tsuba 鍔): The zinc alloy Tsuba features intricate carvings, offering not only functional protection but also a striking design element that adds to the katana's visual identity.

Scabbard (Saya 鞘): The purple lacquered wooden Saya catches the eye with its sheen and impeccable finish, showcasing the craftsmanship and care that went into its design.

Handle (Tsuka 柄): The handle, covered in authentic blue shagreen, is renowned for its durability and distinctive texture that ensures a firm grip. Zinc alloy Menukis add decorative detail, while two bamboo Mekugi ensure the katana's structural integrity.
