Shade Indonesia Ronin - Rosewood - Darkwash Brute de Forge Hand Forged 5160 Blade #1

5160 Fixed Blade with Rosewood Handles

The Shade Indonesia Ronin is a katana-inspired fixed blade built for those who train hard and want a blade that performs under real stress. This is a long-blade cutting tool suited for heavy chopping, batoning, and repeated hard use rather than a display piece.

Blade

The 17" blade is hand forged from 5160 steel at 0.250" thick, finished in Darkwash Brute de Forge. 5160 is a spring steel prized for its toughness and shock resistance, making it a common choice for large blades that need to survive repeated impact without chipping or snapping. The Brut-de-Forge finish leaves the hammer-forged texture visible, showing the hand work behind each blade.

Handle

The handle is rosewood, a dense hardwood valued for its strength and natural grain. It measures 13" long and 1" thick, giving plenty of room for a two-handed grip on this 30" overall knife. At 43.75oz, this is a substantial blade meant to carry momentum through heavy cuts.

Carry

The Ronin ships with a leather sheath sized for its 17" blade. This is a fixed blade - the full tang construction runs the length of the handle for maximum strength. The sheath is built for secure storage and carry given the size and weight of this piece.

Made in Indonesia.
