Dojo Pro Katana Model #10 ko katana

Ronin Katana's Dojo Pro Katana Model #10 is an all black Ko-Katana with minor gold details, giving it an authoritative and formidable appearance. Since it is a Ko-Katana, it has a shorter blade than the average katana. Its blade is forged from 1060 steel and through hardened, giving it a consistent hardness throughout the blade. In line with the design of this sword, it has a black maru gata (round) tsuba based on an actual antique blade and blackened iron fuchi kashira (hilt collar and pommel cap). The gold menuki (decorative ornament) made of brass stands out from the rest of the sword.

The tsuka (handle) is covered with black same (rayskin) and the tight tsukamaki uses black silk ito (handle wrap). This ko-katana also comes with a glossy black lacquered saya (scabbard) with the kurigata (knob for sageo), koiguchi (mouth of saya), and kojiri (scabbard end cap) made from hand cut and polished buffalo horn. The overall aesthetics of the sword is completed with a thick black sageo (carrying cord) made of synthetic silk.
