Overview
Ronin Katana Model 27
The Ronin Katana Model #27 Katana has a traditionally clay-tempered blade with a genuine hamon which is forged from 1045 high carbon steel; the final polish of the blade both brings out the wave-edged beauty of the natural hamon and hones the blade to a sharp cutting edge. The tsuba, fuchi and kashira are quality cast metal components full of antique finished detail and the tsuka grip is crafted from wood. The grip has panels of genuine rayskin and is completed with a knotted tsuka ito grip wrap of cotton. The sword is matched with a wooden saya scabbard which is completed with a glossy lacquer finish and a knotted sageo cord. Included is a cloth sword bag for storage or transport.
This type of sword is considered a quality entry-level cutter by Ronin Katana. Ronin advises that they are safe to use against single soaked tatami mats, as well as water bottles and similar targets. Ronin discourages their use against hard targets, as well as thick, hard plastic jugs
