CUSTOMIZATION OPTIONS

1) Select which Tsuba you wish to be mounted. All tsuba are made from extremely strong 1045 carbon steel with a black powder coated finish. Some are available in two versions, one solid black and the other with REAL 24K gold accents. The 'Front' is the Omote and is the side that faces the tsuka, the 'Back' is the Ura and faces the tip of the blade. An Aikuchi version (i.e. no tsuba at all for a very sleek appearance) is also available (pictured below).

2) Select tsuka (hande) ito color from 8 different color choices with either iron or brass fittings (Iron for maximum durability, brass - less durable but more attractive, pictured above).

3) Select saya style and color. A saya with a mother of pearl insert pattern and one with the top section wrapped in buffalo horn is available for an additional fee.

Been wanting a blade with Choji Midare hamon for a while now. Was pleased to see that not only could I afford one but also get my choice of hardware so to speak.
The order process went smooth. Pictures of the available options were of good resolution which really helped making choices.
Overall details:
Saya fit is average, not bad, not great...average. A bit of rattle but will retain the katana when inverted.
Now please bear with me as I do not have the proper terminology committed to memory as I describe the following items so will use simple terms most should understand.
First, all fittings on the blade are very tight. ZERO movement any where. The handle wrap is tight, diamond size varies a bit, at 2 places a bit of wood is visible at the edge of the rayskin. You have to look close to see it though. Rayskin itself is finely pebbled and looks very nice in comparison to what's on some others I own.
LOL I know you guys will hate me for this---the guard and pommel---LOL are steel and according to the very nice document enclosed are 1045 steel. The gold plating highlighting the design really sets things off IMO and is nicely done.
Now the blade- the hamon is very nice and shows well. From close exam it appears to have been enhanced a bit thru etching? But there is no doubt it real and quite beautiful running the full length of the blade and NOT fading out at the tip which is not counter polished. The polish on the blade is quite good, from hamon to cutting edge is a high polish. Not mirror like but very reflective. Above hamon to spine maybe just slightly less polished as there seems to be a gentle contrast. It looks darn fine to me!
There is something else notable about the blade. Unlike every other blade in my collection from a variety of names- DF, Ronin, Hattori, etc, both visually and by feel any unevenness is virtually undetectable.
On every other blade I own by running your fingers along the "V" at the top of the spine or along the flat of the blade, waves in the steel from the forging can be felt if not seen. Seems to me a lot of care was taken in making a blade that's very even. Perfect no, but noticeably better by a fair margin.
Sharpness- yeah, it's damned sharp! And the entire length of the blade too. Only one other blade I own had this keen of an edge right out of the box, the DF Musha. This Ryujin is much sharper then my Ronin, Chenness Oniyuri, etc.

One last comment. it came with a very nice document/spec sheet detailing everything including the options it was ordered with. And surprisingly, the signature is real done with a fine felt tip pen. Again, nice touch.
