Discover the craftsmanship and heritage of traditional Japanese sword-making with the Katana Model Number 1 Samurai Sword by Ronin Katana.
Featuring a hand-forged, differentially hardened 1045 high-carbon steel blade, this impressive katana draws inspiration from the weapons carried by Japan’s legendary samurai warriors.
Complete with a genuine ray skin handle covering, traditional cotton wrapping and lacquered wooden saya, the Model Number 1 combines historical design elements with contemporary craftsmanship.
For centuries, the katana has been one of the most recognisable symbols of Japanese history and culture.
Associated with the samurai warriors of feudal Japan, these distinctive curved swords became renowned for their elegant appearance, craftsmanship and carefully balanced construction.
Traditional Japanese swordsmiths developed sophisticated forging and heat-treatment techniques, creating blades that combined strength with a hardened cutting edge.
The Katana Model Number 1 Samurai Sword reflects this heritage through its traditional styling, hand-forged construction and differentially hardened blade.
Established in 2005, Ronin Katana has developed an extensive collection of Japanese and European-style swords.
The company produces more than 100 different models, ranging from traditional Japanese katana and wakizashi to medieval sword reproductions.
Drawing inspiration from historical Japanese swords, Ronin Katana combines traditional design principles with modern manufacturing techniques.
The Model Number 1 features a differentially hardened 1045 high-carbon steel blade, measuring approximately 71cm in length.
Differential hardening is a heat-treatment process that produces different levels of hardness across the blade. This technique has long been associated with traditional Japanese sword-making.
The result is a traditionally inspired katana with a distinctive appearance and carefully considered construction.
The sword features a 28cm tsuka, or handle, incorporating genuine ray skin beneath traditional cotton ito wrapping.
Two retaining pins secure the handle assembly, reflecting a construction method commonly associated with Japanese swords.
Decorative zinc alloy fittings complete the design, including:
Together, these traditional components create an attractive and authentic-looking finish.
The Katana Model Number 1 comes complete with a lacquered wooden saya, the traditional Japanese scabbard used to house the blade.
A cotton sageo cord complements the saya, adding another characteristic feature of Japanese sword design.
Measuring approximately 107cm when housed in its saya, this substantial katana makes an impressive addition to a collection of Japanese swords and historical weaponry.
All dimensions and weights are approximate and may vary slightly between individual swords.
The Katana Model Number 1 Samurai Sword celebrates the enduring traditions of Japanese sword-making.
Its hand-forged carbon steel blade, genuine ray skin handle covering and lacquered wooden saya combine to create a distinctive reproduction.
Whether displayed alongside other Japanese swords or appreciated for its traditional design, this Ronin Katana model offers collectors an attractive example of samurai-inspired craftsmanship.
