Dojo Pro Katana Model #17

The Dojo Pro Katana Model #17 from Ronin Katana is forged from 1060 steel and through hardened. The maru gata (round) tsuba (guard) of this katana is based on an antique Japanese sword. Other koshirae (fittings) such as the fuchi (hilt collar) and kashira (pommel cap) are made of blackened iron while the gold colored menuki is made of brass.

The tsuka (handle) of this katana is inlaid with white same (rayskin) which is held in place by tight tsukamaki using black silk ito (handle wrap). The blade comes sheathed in a glossy black lacquered saya (scabbard) with hand cut and polished buffalo horn kurigata (knob for sageo), koiguchi (mouth of saya), kojiri (scabbard end cap), along with a black sageo (carrying cord) made of synthetic silk.
