Ryūgan the Katana
Ryūgan – The Katana from the Stronghold Masters Collection
Ryūgan is not just a sword – it’s a blade with a soul. Named after the “Dragon’s Eye”, this katana embodies elegance, speed, and complete control in motion. Designed for those who see their LARP weapon not only as a tool for combat but as a true work of art. Inspired by traditional Japanese katanas yet refined for fantasy worlds, it delivers both swiftness and presence on the battlefield.
Modern craftsmanship and durability
The latest addition to the Stronghold Masters range, Ryūgan has been rebalanced and streamlined compared to earlier versions. Built from latex-free PU foam around a reinforced fiberglass core, with a Kevlar-reinforced tip, it is made to withstand heavy use. Its slightly thinner profile makes it faster and more agile while maintaining the distinctive Stronghold resilience. A weapon that thrives in high-intensity duels.
Elegance in motion
The balance of Ryūgan naturally falls between hilt and blade, offering fluidity without losing striking power. Its sleek design makes every swing precise, controlled, and satisfying. This katana dances in your hand, yet hits with the weight of a storm when called upon.
Details that matter
The handle is crafted in true katana style, with canvas cross-lacing in squared segments that ensure comfort and secure grip – even bare-handed or during extended use. A stylized tsuba (handguard) adds a subtle fantasy twist, and it can be removed or swapped with other Stronghold-compatible guards for full customization of your blade’s appearance.
Eight distinct colours to match your story
Your character, your style, your vibe – Ryūgan adapts. Choose from eight unique colours that define presence and personality:
- Amethyst (purple) – arcane and mysterious
- Citrine (yellow) – sharp, radiant, like sunlight on steel
- Emerald (green) – wild, bold, and earthy
- Gold – royal, timeless, commanding
- Noble Steel (silver) – classic, clean, and confident
- Ruby (red) – fiery, fierce, and impossible to ignore
- Sapphire (blue) – cool, focused, ocean-deep
- Shadow (black) – sleek, subtle, quietly powerful
Beyond the battlefield
Although designed with LARP combat in mind, Ryūgan is also a perfect fit for cosplay, stage performance, and photoshoots. Lightweight, durable, and visually striking, it shines as both a safe combat weapon and a stunning prop. From samurai warriors to anime-inspired heroes – this katana bridges history and fantasy seamlessly.

Nothing can describe how to maintain
Remember that most of the damage is done due to the lack of maintenance and bad storage.
-
Store your latex weapons flat or standing on their pommel - NEVER on the thrust (this will cause damage to the tip of the weapon, that’s not refunded)
-
Use a barrier made of paper or a towel to guard your weapon in contact with other plastic or rubber surface, so they won’t stick together.
-
Keep your weapon in a cool, dry area.
-
Avoid long time exposure to sunlight and don’t transport your weapons on top of your car luggage.
-
Remember about the maintenance, sprays work best for that.
