Product Details
This Japanese sword is built around a 28.3-inch blade forged from 1045 carbon steel and hardened to 58 HRC. The full tang construction runs the entire length of the handle, and the chrome-finish polish reveals a visible hamon line that traces the temper boundary along the cutting edge. The result is a blade with clean geometry and a bright, reflective surface that catches light from every angle.
The 10.2-inch tsuka is layered with white samegawa beneath tightly wound yellow ito cord. The wrapping follows a traditional diamond pattern, and the contrast between the pale ray skin and warm yellow cord gives the handle a distinct visual texture. The fit is snug, with the cord pulled firmly into each crossover to prevent shifting.
At the junction of blade and handle sits an alloy tsuba finished in black with a raised gold dragon motif. The dragon coils within the circular guard in an open design, allowing glimpses of the habaki beneath. Gold-tone accents on the fuchi and kashira bookend the handle, tying the metalwork together with the tsuba's theme.

The 30.3-inch hardwood saya is coated in orange piano lacquer, producing a glossy, smooth surface with excellent depth of color. A yellow sageo is tied at the kurikata in a traditional knot, matching the tsuka ito and reinforcing the warm amber-to-gold palette that defines this piece.
With its Full Tang Blade Sword design and coordinated orange-gold color scheme, this katana works equally well as a standalone display piece or as part of a themed collection. Stand or wall mount not included.
