Product Details

The blade of this chokuto is forged from 1060 carbon steel with a precision-finished edge and a characteristic straight profile - no curve, no taper - true to the ancient straight-sword form that predates the curved katana tradition. At 41 inches overall and 4 pounds, it carries real weight in hand. The full-tang construction runs from tip to pommel, ensuring the blade and handle function as a single unified piece of steel.

The tsuka is wrapped in brown cotton cord ito over a PU white samegawa base, hand-applied in the classic diagonal diamond pattern. The texture sits firm under the hand with natural give from the cord. Gold-tone copper fittings frame the handle collar and cap, adding warm metallic detail against the brown wrap. This sword is part of the broader 1060 Sword family - carbon steel builds known for their balance of edge retention and structural toughness.

The black iron tsuba features a circular form with symmetrical cutout openings - clean and unadorned, letting the dark metal speak for itself. It sits flush against the habaki and contrasts sharply with the gold fittings above and below. The design reads as restrained and traditional, avoiding decorative excess.

The saya is the most visually striking element of this set. Constructed from lacquered hardwood and finished in deep black, it is painted with flowing gold vine and floral scroll patterns that cover the full length of the scabbard. The motif shifts from dense botanicals near the koiguchi to looser curvilinear tendrils toward the kojiri. The brown sageo cord is knotted and looped at the midsection, tying the handle's color palette back into the scabbard presentation.

Total length is 41 inches. Shipping weight is 5 pounds, packaged in a 43 x 4 x 4 inch box. Note that a sword stand is not included. This chokuto is a full koshirae replica suited for collectors drawn to straight-blade Japanese sword forms with bold saya artwork.

  • Black iron tsuba with a circular cutout design complements the dark saya, while gold-tone copper fittings at the collar and kashira add warm contrast to the brown handle wrap.
