Ryūō Katana 龍皇刀
The Ryūō Katana celebrates the power and good fortune of the dragon. A hand-painted black saya features a coiling golden ryū, while warm copper-gilt fittings echo waves and clouds. Forged as a true Honyaki blade from T10 high-carbon steel, it exhibits a vivid, storm-like hamon that flows the length of the edge.
