Product Details

The blade on this katana is forged from T10 carbon steel and hand-finished to reveal a genuine hamon - the distinct temper line that traces the edge of the steel and reflects the differential hardening process used in traditional Japanese sword-making. The polished chrome-tone surface contrasts cleanly against the hamon's misty pattern, giving the nagasa a dynamic, visually layered appearance from tip to habaki.

The tsuka is built over a full tang construction with real white samegawa (ray skin) providing the textured base layer beneath the ito wrapping. The outer cord is wrapped in black, while the underlayer and the sageo cord are finished in a vivid orange - a bold pairing that gives this koshirae a distinct identity compared to all-black or all-brown configurations.

At the junction of blade and handle sits the chrysanthemum-themed tsuba, finished in black and gold tones. The circular guard features detailed floral relief work - a motif with deep roots in Japanese aesthetics - framed by a dark iron-toned border.

The saya is crafted from hardwood and finished with a high-gloss black lacquer coat. It pairs cleanly with the black and orange handle elements, and the black sageo cord ties off at the saya for a complete, cohesive koshirae presentation. The lacquer finish is smooth and consistent, with no visible grain interruptions along the body.

This katana measures 40.5 inches in overall length with a blade width of 1.26 inches and a total weight of 2.88 lbs. Packaged at 43 x 4 x 4 inches, it ships at 4 lbs. The sword stand is not included.
