Shade Indonesia Ronin - Rosewood - Darkwash Brute de Forge Hand Forged 5160 Blade #2

Hand Forged 5160 Fixed Blade with Rosewood Handles

The Ronin is a katana-inspired fixed blade built for serious cutting work. With a 30-inch overall length and full tang construction, this is a substantial piece meant for those who want the presence of a traditional sword paired with the durability to handle batoning and repeated heavy strikes.

Blade

The 17-inch blade is hand forged from 5160 steel at a thick 0.250 inches. 5160 is a spring steel prized for its toughness, holding up to shock and repeated impact without chipping or snapping. The Darkwash Brute de Forge finish leaves the hammer-forged texture visible, showing the hand work that went into every blade rather than a uniform factory grind.

Handle

The 13-inch handle is wrapped in rosewood, a dense hardwood that offers a secure, comfortable grip along with natural grain character. At 43.75oz total, the Ronin carries substantial heft that balances the long blade during use.

Carry

The Ronin ships with a leather sheath sized for its 30-inch overall length. This is a fixed, full tang blade; the leather sheath provides secure retention and protects the edge during storage or transport.
