1095 Carbon Steel Katana with Green Pearl Rayskin Saya - Gold Chrysanthemum Tsuba, Beige Cord Handle

The blade is forged from 1095 carbon steel and brought to a high-polish mirror finish that emphasizes its clean geometry and the naturally formed hamon line running along the edge. At 40.55 inches overall with a spine thickness of 0.275 inches and blade width of 1.259 inches, the proportions reflect traditional katana geometry. The full tang construction extends the steel continuously through the handle core, providing solid balance at 2.8 lbs. This is part of the broader 1095 High Carbon Steel Katana Sword family, known for consistent edge retention and clean polish work.

The tsuka is wrapped in beige cotton ito over real white samegawa rayskin, forming the classic diamond-pattern braid visible across the handle length. The textured rayskin beneath provides grip surface while the cord wrap locks into place with consistent tension. Gold-tone fuchi and kashira fittings frame the handle ends, coordinating with the tsuba's warm metallic tone.

The gold-tone tsuba is cast with a raised chrysanthemum and floral relief pattern across its full face - a detailed motif referencing classical Japanese decorative traditions. The organic, layered petal work fills the guard surface without overcrowding, and the gold finish creates clear visual contrast against the chrome blade and beige handle wrap.

The saya is wrapped in green pearl rayskin - the same samegawa material used on the handle, here scaled up across the full scabbard body. The textured green surface catches light across its pearlescent grain, producing depth and variation in tone. Real horn koiguchi and kojiri reinforce the throat and tip of the scabbard, while the green-and-white sageo cord ties at the kurikata in a neat traditional knot. This piece is a standout among Green Samurai Sword configurations for its consistent material use across saya and fittings.

With overall package dimensions of 42.9 x 3.9 x 3.5 inches and a shipping weight of 3.3 lbs, this katana arrives ready for display in full koshirae. The coordinated palette - chrome blade, gold tsuba, beige ito, and green pearl saya - makes it a cohesive collector piece in traditional Japanese sword styling.
