Care & Maintenance

To maintain your katana's appearance and performance over time, we recommend:

- Regularly wiping the blade with a soft cloth to remove fingerprints and moisture.
- Applying a light coat of choji oil to prevent rust (for carbon steel blades).
- Storing the sword in a dry place, preferably inside its saya.
- Avoiding direct contact with hard surfaces to preserve sharpness and finish.

For more care tips, check our full maintenance guide in the FAQ section.

Behind the Blade

Every katana we offer carries the essence of centuries-old craftsmanship.

More than just a weapon, the katana symbolizes discipline, honor, and mastery.

Our artisans draw inspiration from traditional forging methods to ensure each blade reflects the spirit of the samurai - strength, precision, and soul.

Owning one is not just about aesthetics - it’s about carrying a piece of that legacy.

User Experience

This katana is designed to offer a perfect balance between blade and handle.

Its ergonomic tsuka (handle) allows a secure two-handed grip, while the weight distribution ensures smooth, fluid movement.

Sold for collection and display. Handle carefully when placing on a stand or carrying out maintenance.

Gold finish / dragon relief / Ogon Ryushi

Ogon Ryushi Gold Katana with Dragon Details

Gold runs from the blade to the scabbard on Ogon Ryushi. The handle has a softer sheen, while raised dragons and curling decoration catch the light along the saya. Dark recesses in the guard give the gold-colored dragon a clear outline. If you want a golden katana with detail that carries through the whole sword, this is the part to look at closely.

The blade

A gold-finished manganese steel blade

The 72 cm blade is listed as manganese steel, with full tang construction and a sharpened edge. Its warm metallic finish shifts from pale gold to a deeper coppery reflection with the light. Gold describes the color here. The material specification is steel, with no exact manganese grade or measured hardness given. A brass collar with geometric cutouts sits at the base of the blade.

Raised dragon and floral decoration on the gold Ogon Ryushi saya

The fittings

Dragon relief on the guard and saya

The zinc-alloy tsuba combines a gold-colored dragon with dark recessed areas and open spaces. The lacquered wooden saya repeats the dragon theme in raised decoration, with floral and curling forms around it. Gold synthetic leather wraps over white synthetic rayskin on the handle. A gold-and-black braided sageo adds a darker thread beside the scabbard decoration.

Choose where you want the gold to stand out

Ogon Ryushi spreads the color across most of the sword. For another approach, compare the Gold Katana and the Molten Gold katana. Look at their blade finishes and saya patterns side by side, rather than choosing by the color name alone. The steel guide explains the material terms separately.

In your collection

Let the raised decoration catch the light

A black wooden stand with a dragon medallion is listed with the sword and matching saya. Soft side lighting helps bring out the raised scabbard details without making the metallic finish look flat. Leave room for the 105 cm overall length and arrange the blade securely if you display it outside its saya.

Caring for your Ogon Ryushi katana

Keep fingerprints and moisture off the blade, and follow the Care & Maintenance instructions above. Use a soft cloth around the raised saya decoration and guard. Avoid abrasive polish on the colored finish, and keep blade oil away from the synthetic leather wrapping.

Ogon Ryushi katana questions

Is the blade made of gold?

The blade is manganese steel with a gold-colored finish. The gold appearance is part of its decoration; the sword is not made from solid gold.

What does manganese steel tell me about this model?

It is the steel designation supplied for this blade. An exact alloy grade and hardness measurement are not listed, so the label alone should not be treated as a performance rating.

Does Ogon Ryushi have a clay-tempered hamon?

An authentic clay-tempered hamon is not specified for this model. The main blade feature is its gold-colored finish.

What is the dragon guard made from?

The tsuba is listed as zinc alloy. Its gold-toned dragon relief sits against darker recessed areas, with open spaces around the sculpted design.

Is the scabbard metal?

It is lacquered wood with a gold-colored finish and raised dragon and floral decoration. The metallic appearance does not mean that the saya is made from gold or brass.

Is the handle wrapped in real leather?

The gold wrapping is synthetic leather, over white synthetic rayskin. These are the materials listed for this model.

How large is it, and does it include a stand?

The listed dimensions are 105 cm overall, a 72 cm blade and a 30 cm handle. The matching saya and a black wooden display stand are included.

Is Ogon Ryushi a sharp sword?

Yes. It is listed as sharpened and full tang, and sold for collection and display. Keep the edge secure when arranging it and handle the blade carefully during maintenance.

Good sword, small issue on arrival

Saya mouth was slightly loose when I got it, fitting tape sorted it. Balance is great though. People at my dojo always ask about it.

Way better than I expected

Hamon is clean, handle wrap tight, saya closes solid. Came in a wooden box. No complaints at all for the price.

Nice blade but took 2 weeks to arrive

Damascus looks great. Shipping to Portland took forever and tracking was dead for a week. Quality is there, logistics need work.
