Ryujin means "heavenly dragon" in Japanese. The symbolism of this legendary creature and the great sky above are themes found throughout Japanese culture and folklore. As presented here in this exquisite sword from Ryu Shinken, these themes are often intertwined.

The Ryujin Katana: a masterfully crafted sword that combines tradition, precision, and legend. Forged with a folded, clay-hardened blade in the time-honored "Shingi-zukuri" profile, it boasts clean lines, geometric perfection, and superb balance. Hand-honed, it effortlessly slices through paper and tatami alike. Featuring premium fittings, solid brass accents, and a genuine stingray leather-wrapped handle, this katana exemplifies both beauty and durability. With over 20 years of expertise, Superior Swords & Ryu Shinken proudly presents a masterpiece that rivals the finest swords of ancient Japan — all at an accessible price point.
