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.

  • Forged from 1045 carbon steel with a full tang construction, the 28.3-inch blade is hand-polished to a chrome finish and hardened to 58 HRC for lasting edge retention.
  • Orange hardwood saya finished in high-gloss piano lacquer pairs with a matching yellow sageo, creating a bold and cohesive color presentation from tip to end.
  • Alloy tsuba features a detailed gold-and-black dragon motif in an open circular design, adding a striking centerpiece between blade and handle.
  • The 10.2-inch tsuka is wrapped in yellow ito cord over white samegawa, providing a secure textured grip that complements the warm orange-and-gold color scheme.
  • Total assembled length places this katana in the standard display range, making it a fitting centerpiece for wall mounts, desk stands, or themed collections.

If I could leave a 4 and a half star response, I would. The website may seem shaky but these blades I've adopted this month are beautiful. The website has outdated coupons but I was offered a discount on a blade I had in my cart for less than 2 days as well as a coupon for my last feedback review. I'd buy again one day.

Good quality budget sword. Only complaint is that the scabbard was a poor fit and was too loose; the sword wobbled around way too much inside the scabbard when sheathed.

For $101.00 this is probably one of the best swords I’ve ever purchased. Excellent quality. Handle wrap, guard and butt plate were all tight, no rattle. Very sharp and straight blade. I haven’t tried cutting anything yet and may not. This was primarily for looks on the wall. Would definitely order another sword in the future

It’s a nice sword don’t get me wrong, but it’s not at orange as I originally thought, it’s got more of a gold color. But other than colors it’s great.
