1095 Carbon Steel Katana with Flame-Engraved Blade in Brown Lacquer Saya - Demon Tsuba

The 28.74-inch blade is forged from 1095 carbon steel and heat-treated to 62 HRC, delivering a hard, stable edge with lasting structural integrity. The chrome-finish surface is dressed with hand-applied flame engravings that run from the base of the blade toward the tip - bold, asymmetrical forms that give this piece an unmistakable visual identity among 1095 High Carbon Steel Katana replicas. The blade is sharpened and measures 1.259 inches at its widest point.

The tsuka runs 10.62 inches and follows traditional koshirae construction. Genuine black rayskin (samegawa) wraps the wooden core, and black tsuka-ito is applied in a standard diamond-gap pattern over the top. The result is a handle that holds its wrap tension while offering good visual contrast against the bright blade.

The alloy tsuba is cast in a gold-brown finish with a raised demon (oni) face at center, surrounded by flame and cloud detailing. The casting depth and surface patina give it an aged, hand-worked appearance that pairs directly with the flame theme carried through the blade engravings. This level of thematic consistency across tsuba and blade is a defining feature of the piece.

The hardwood saya is finished in matte dark brown lacquer with a fine-textured surface, measuring 29.92 inches. A black sageo cord is attached with a traditional knot, and a matching black tassel hangs at the koiguchi. The matte finish reduces glare and gives the saya a natural, understated presence alongside the more ornate fittings.

Overall length is 40.55 inches and weight is 2.8 lb. Full-tang construction runs the blade steel through the handle core, giving the piece solid balance and long-term stability. Packaged at 3.3 lb shipping weight in a 42.9 x 3.9 x 3.5-inch box. A well-matched set for collectors drawn to Black Handmade Katana aesthetics with traditional koshirae fittings.
