Product Details
This black katana is built around a 28.3-inch nagasa forged from 1060 carbon steel, heat-treated to 58 HRC. The blade carries a full black finish across its entire surface, with a clean edge line running along the curved profile. The full tang construction extends through the handle, secured with mekugi pins for structural integrity. As part of the Black Blade Japanese Samurai Swords collection, this piece showcases the dramatic visual impact of a darkened steel finish.
The 10.2-inch tsuka is wrapped in black cotton cord using a traditional diamond pattern over black same (ray skin). Gold menuki sit beneath the wrapping on each side, adding a small but visible contrast to the handle. The wrap is tight and even, providing a textured grip surface along the full handle length.
At the guard, a snowflake-themed alloy tsuba in black separates the blade from the handle. The open-pattern design features small cutout details that reference traditional Japanese snowflake motifs. A brass habaki sits at the base of the blade just below the tsuba, and its gold tone creates a deliberate accent point against the otherwise all-black build.
The 30.3-inch hardwood saya is coated in piano lacquer, producing a high-gloss black surface with a smooth, reflective finish. A black sageo cord is tied at the kurikata in a traditional knot. The koiguchi (mouth of the saya) fits snugly to the habaki, and the kojiri (end cap) tapers to a clean point.
This 1060 Katana Sword measures 40.5 inches overall and weighs 2.65 lbs. The monochrome black palette - broken only by the brass habaki and gold menuki - gives it a cohesive, modern aesthetic suited to collectors who favor understated design with traditional Japanese construction methods.
