Taoforge Rin´ne Katana, handgeschmiedet und gefaltet
Product information "Taoforge Rin´ne Katana, handgeschmiedet und gefaltet"
This is a “Rin´ne” katana from our Shogun class which was folded of 1095 steel, forged and differentially hardened. This created a cutting edge with a 60 on the Rockwell hardness scale, and a blade back that rates a 40 HRC. The blade is sharply polished, features a typical folding structure and has no hi. The tsuka-ito is made of pure, black silk and is attached firmly to the real ray skin.
The steel tsuba of the “Rin´ne” displays blossom motifs and is rounded off with an image of the imperial crest of Japan, also know as the wheel of life, which originates in Buddhism. The kashira and the fuchi show an artistically carved out blossom. The menuki on the other hand are in the form of full grown “long” or Chinese dragons, which is considered the deity of rain and fertility. The saya has been adorned with an inlay of fish skin starting at the koiguchi.
