"Ryujin" Clay Tempered Hand Forged Katana
Add a legendary blade to your collection with the "Ryujin" Clay Tempered Hand Forged Katana.
Some swords need a story invented around them.
Ryujin arrived with one already painted across its saya.
Named after Ryūjin, the legendary dragon deity of the sea in Japanese mythology, this hand-forged katana brings together two of the most powerful symbols in Japanese folklore: the dragon and the ocean.
And bloody hell, does it look good doing it.
The gloss-black saya is decorated with a sweeping golden dragon, but it's the upper section that makes this sword something genuinely unusual. Deep blue gives way to a beautiful white foaming-wave effect, almost like sea spray crashing across the scabbard. Against the black lacquer and gold dragon beneath, it creates a design that reveals more detail the longer you look at it.
The fittings continue the theme beautifully. An antiqued, intricately sculpted dragon tsuba sits behind a traditional black-wrapped tsuka over white same-style panels, while subtle gold accents tie everything back into the saya.
And underneath all that decoration is a blade worthy of the name.
Ryujin features a genuine hand-forged steel blade, traditionally clay tempered to create differential hardening and a natural hamon within the steel itself. The sweeping temper line is wonderfully visible along the polished blade, giving each sword the individual character that simply can't be replicated with a printed cosmetic finish.
This is exactly the sort of original katana we love finding.
Look at it from one end and you see the dragon.
Look at it from the other and you see the sea.
Draw the blade and you get the craftsmanship underneath both.
Dragon. Ocean. Steel.
Ryujin.
This katana is a traditional, hand-forged blade inspired by Bushido artistry created for collectors with an appreciation for Japanese sword craftsmanship.
Forged from 1045 HCS and clay tempered, it combines authentic construction with display-quality presentation.
