Product Details

The blade on this katana is forged from T10 carbon steel and brought to a high-polish chrome finish that catches light along its full length. A genuine hamon line runs the nagasa, the result of the hand-finishing process that defines this piece's edge character. The hand-finished surface shows no machine grinding marks, and the full-tang construction runs the entire length of the tsuka for structural integrity throughout the assembly. This katana is part of our Sharpened Katana collection for collectors who prioritize blade craftsmanship.

The tsuka is wrapped in dark blue PU samegawa under a diamond-pattern blue cord ito, with gold-toned menuki accents visible between the wrap diamonds. The handle construction provides a layered grip texture and maintains the deep navy-and-gold color story carried through the full koshirae. A silver habaki seats the blade cleanly at the tsuba junction.

The tsuba is cast alloy in a silver-and-gold two-tone finish, sculpted with a dragon motif in raised relief on both faces. The dragon's form wraps the oval guard with fine detail work in the gold-tone areas, while the silver field gives the design a strong contrast frame. This fitting is the visual centerpiece of the koshirae and sets the piece apart from single-metal guard designs.

The saya is crafted from hardwood finished in piano lacquer, presenting a deep black exterior that reflects cleanly. At the koiguchi, the interior reveals a hand-painted finish - amber gold and teal blue brushwork that makes each saya unique. A teal sageo is knotted at the kurigata in a braided pattern with tassel ends, providing a vivid accent color against the black lacquer surface. For collectors interested in multi-colored saya pieces, this pairs well with others in our Gold Saya Japanese Samurai Swords collection.

Overall assembled length is 41 inches and the piece weighs 3 lbs. Package dimensions are 43 x 4 x 4 inches with a shipping weight of 4 lbs. Note: sword stand is not included.
