IN STOCK & ON CLOSEOUT SPECIAL
5160 Spring Steel Differentially hardened Blade with clean notare wave hamon and decked out with premium silver and gold accented water lily tsuba set. A serious workhorse of a blade at a fraction of its value.
CLOSES OUT MIDNIGHT 17th AUGUST
A grade higher than the T10 Ryujin Custom Katana series - this sword has a 5160 Spring Steel blade with a long working life, as 5160 Spring Steel is designed to last longer than any other type of spring or tool steel. The steel has been differentially hardened in the traditional manner to produce a prominent and clearly defined notare (wave) hamon with an edge hardness of HRC 60 and spine hardness HRC 42 and terminates in a kissaki with geometric yokote and clear boshi and is truly optimized for the cut.
To compliment the premium quality steel and the clean natural hamon, it is decked out in "Yuri" (water lily) themed iron tsuba set with real 24K gold and silver accents for maximum component durability and overall aesthetic appeal. The handle is wrapped in super tight black cotton ito wrapped using hishigami - almost unheard of at this kind of price point - and has a silver tsunami waved fuchigashira, silver florish menuki and genuine samegawa. The sword is sheathed in a quality black lacquered wooden saya with thick, hard wearing and practical black sageo.
Everything about this build is designed for frequent use over an extended period - in short, these are serious, practical blades that are surprisingly robust yet traditionally constructed and priced so that you get the most bang for your buck.

I was a little unsure about buying this sword, however now that it’s arrived I’m very happy with the purchase.
In total it took exactly 1 week to arrive.
The design and all the characteristics shown in the photos are all true in the sword itself.
The sword comes with a long sleeve to store it in, along with a very nice carrying case to transport it in. Along with that, it comes with a little wooden box with cleaning materials for the blade.
The only thing that didn’t come which I though would is the display stand for the sword (but it’s not advertised to come with it so that’s not on SBG).
Overall I’m very satisfied with SBG’s service. That product came as advertised, they responded back to my email in a timely manner, and the sword arrived in reasonable time.
Would definitely recommend this based on the quality and price.
