Product Details
The blade of this katana is forged from Damascus steel and finished in a deep blue tone, with orange wave engravings etched along the length of the nagasa. The layered Damascus patterning - visible through the blue finish as flowing, organic curves - gives the blade a visual depth that shifts with the light. A visible hamon line runs along the edge, reinforcing the hand-finished character of the piece. This is a full-tang construction throughout.
The tsuka is wrapped in blue ito cord over a foundation of genuine white samegawa ray skin. The diamond-pattern hishigami wrap is evenly spaced and tightly bound, with small white diamond shapes visible at regular intervals across the blue field. A small decorative menuki in brass tone is set beneath the wrapping on the facing side of the handle.
The black iron tsuba carries a dragon relief theme, with detailed carved figures set against an open cutwork ground. The cream-colored habaki - the blade collar seated between tsuba and blade - provides a clean tonal break between the dark iron fittings and the blue-finished nagasa. The fuchi collar at the base of the tsuka matches the antique brass finish of the tsuba's interior detailing.

The saya is constructed from hardwood and finished in a teal natural lacquer coat, producing a smooth, glossy surface with a cool blue-green tone. The dark blue sageo cord is secured in a multi-loop decorative knot at the kurigata, with the excess cord wrapped in evenly spaced parallel turns along the upper saya body - all visible in the close-up detail photograph.
At 40.5 inches overall, 1.26 inches at the widest blade point, and 3.17 lb, this katana presents in full-size koshirae-style fittings with a consistent blue and teal palette across every component. It is a considered piece for collectors drawn to Blue Katana Sword designs that prioritize visual cohesion from tip to sageo.
