1095 Carbon Steel Katana with Green Lacquered Hardwood Saya - White Geometric Tsuba, Beige Cord Handle

The blade of this katana is forged from 1095 carbon steel, shaped into a 29-inch nagasa with a chrome-polished surface and a hand-finished edge. A genuine hamon runs along the blade's length - the result of differential heat treatment during forging - giving the steel its characteristic contrast between the harder edge zone and the softer spine. The full-tang construction extends the steel continuously through the handle, providing structural integrity from tip to pommel. At 1.259 inches wide and 0.275 inches thick at the spine, the geometry is true to classical katana proportions. Browse the full 1095 Carbon Steel Katana collection to compare similar blades.

The tsuka is wrapped in a traditional diamond-pattern ito using beige cotton cord over a PU white samegawa base. The alternating wrap creates consistent diamond-shaped windows that expose the pale ray-skin beneath, producing the two-tone texture familiar to classical Japanese sword construction. The wrap is firm, even, and free of slack - details that reflect the care taken in the handle's assembly.

The white alloy tsuba is cast in a geometric lattice design with open-work cutouts arranged in a repeating pattern across the guard's face. Finished in matte white, it creates a distinct tonal break between the beige tsuka and the polished chrome of the blade, giving the koshirae a clean, layered visual rhythm. Habaki and fittings at the collar carry a complementary silver tone.

The saya is crafted from hardwood and finished in a vivid green natural lacquer that presents a smooth, satin sheen under light. Hand-painted floral and peacock-eye medallions are spaced along the body, adding detail without disrupting the saya's clean lines. A braided beige-and-green sageo is knotted at the kurigata with a traditional fusa tassel finish - the pattern visible in the image shows tight diagonal crossings consistent with period-inspired sageo technique.
