This dragon katana sword pendant is a functional miniature: pull the handle and you'll find a small engraved blade hidden inside. The dragon is cast in brass with gold plating, and the scabbard is solid .925 sterling silver. Two-tone, two materials, one pendant that combines Japanese sword culture with dragon mythology at 18×70mm and 15 grams.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.3em; color:#1a3a6b; border-bottom:2px solid #c8a96e; padding-bottom:8px; margin-top:32px; margin-bottom:16px; font-weight:700;\"\u003eBuilt For\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"background:#f8f6f2; border-inline-start:4px solid #c8a96e; padding:14px 18px; margin-bottom:12px; border-radius:4px;\"\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"margin:0; color:#2c2c2c; line-height:1.8;\"\u003e\n    \u003cstrong style=\"color:#1a3a6b;\"\u003eIf you practice martial arts or collect Japanese weaponry\u003c\/strong\u003e — The katana silhouette is proportionally accurate at 70mm — curved blade, wrapped handle, traditional scabbard shape.

Brass gives the dragon more density and visual weight than gold-plated silver would, with about 15% more mass per cubic centimeter.
