Citadel Ronin Katana

Rônin was called a masterless samurai in ancient Japan. In this context, the story of the "47 Rônin", which avenged the death of their master and thus proved the unconditional loyalty of the samurai to their master, became well known.

The Citadel Rônin Katana impresses with its simple, traditional look. The handcrafted tsuba, like the fuchi and kashira, is made of lacquered iron.

- Shinogi-zukuri-style blade with a fuller (Bo-Hi) on the back of the blade.
- Forged copper habaki.
- Handle wrapping made of black, Japanese silk in the classic Hineri Maki style, black matt lacquered sheath with shiny black lacquer speckles (Kuroishime style).

The razor-sharp blades are made of 1075 carbon steel. Under traditional clay coating, these are hardened to approx. 60 HRC on the cutting edge and approx. 40 HRC on the back of the blade. The masterly work of the blacksmith comes into its own through the skills of the polisher. The result is a mirror-polished surface and a clearly recognizable hardening line (Hamon).

In addition to a manufacturing certificate, each sword comes with a high-quality sheath and a padded Cordura bag for transport.
