Description

Ronin Elite Laminated O-Katana Fan Favorites Series Model #17 - 33 inch blade with Bo hi groove

This Ronin Elite katana has been traditionally forged and laminated in the soshu kitae tradition (seven panel steel). This school was developed by the legendary Japanese smith Masamune, and combines panels of hard, medium, and soft steels. The core of the blade is formed from softer, more malleable steel giving it exceptional flexibility. A layer of slightly harder steel is bonded to each side of the core to add support. The last layers are a very hard steel bonded to the top, bottom, and both sides of the core forming the ha (cutting edge) mune (back edge) and shinogi-ji (blade flats). This form of laminar construction provided for a sword that could be sharpened to a razor edge due to the hardened steed used for the ha, but was extremely resilient to battle damage due to its softer more flexible core.

    Ronin Katana Elite 33 inch O-Katana

    Posted by Tony Walker on Apr 27th 2024

    I just recently received my second Ronin Katana, which was the Ronin Katana Elite Laminated Samurai Sword Model #17 -33 inch blade Bo-Hi Groove. What a beautiful and amazing sword this is!! Especially with the wonderful price that Ronin Katana had for it. Love the beauty of it, the balance, the weight and the amazing feel of the sword in my hands. Sara, at Ronin Katana, was extremely helpful and patient with my questions and I can not thank her enough for assisting me with the purchase of this sword!! Thank you to everyone at Ronin Katana for delivering and offering and such amazing swords at such a great price. Continued success to everyone at Ronin Katana in all that you do!!!
