Product Details

This golden blade katana features a full tang 1045 carbon steel blade finished in a rich, warm gold tone. The steel is heat-treated to 58 HRC hardness, and the 28.3-inch blade has been hand-finished to deliver a smooth, luminous surface that catches light along its entire length. The golden color is achieved through a specialized coating process applied after forging, giving the blade its signature look while adding a layer of surface protection.

The tsuka measures 10.2 inches and is built over a traditional wooden core wrapped in white samegawa. Gold ito cord is tightly wound in a diamond pattern across the handle, providing both visual consistency with the blade and a textured grip surface. The fittings - fuchi, kashira, and menuki - all carry matching gold tones that unify the entire handle assembly.

At the guard, a round alloy tsuba features intricately cast bamboo leaf motifs rendered in gold against a dark base. The three-dimensional relief work gives the leaves genuine depth, and the botanical theme ties into a classic Japanese aesthetic that complements the sword's overall color palette. This piece pairs well with other items in the Gold Katana collection for those building a themed display.

The saya is crafted from hardwood with a matte white finish that creates a striking contrast against the golden blade and fittings. A fine crackle texture is visible across the surface, adding subtle visual interest. The sageo cord wraps the kurikata in a gold-and-black braid pattern, tying the saya's white body back to the warm metallic tones found throughout the sword.

At 40.5 inches in overall length, this katana is a full-size collectible piece that balances bold color with traditional Japanese sword construction. From the golden blade to the bamboo-themed tsuba and white matte saya, every element is coordinated for a cohesive display presence. Explore more options in the Gold Samurai Sword collection. Stand not included.

Everything was just as I expected. It was a great blade and lived up to my expectations. The only thing is that I hope they could include a cleaning kit. But besides that I was very happy with my order.
