Product Details

This katana features a 28.3-inch blade forged from 1045 carbon steel, heat-treated to 58 HRC hardness and finished in a vivid blue tone that deepens toward the kissaki tip. The full tang construction runs the entire length of the handle, providing structural integrity throughout the 40.5-inch frame. Among Blue Printed Blade Japanese Samurai Swords, this piece stands out for its clean contrast between the blue steel and white fittings.

The 10.2-inch tsuka is built on a hardwood core wrapped in white PU samegawa, then bound with white leather ito in a traditional cross-hatch pattern. The white-on-white layering creates a refined, minimalist handle that balances the visual weight of the blue blade above it.

At the junction of blade and handle sits an alloy tsuba finished in gold and black, featuring a raised dragon sculpted in fine relief. The dragon wraps around the guard's oval face, its body rendered with textured scales and flowing whiskers that catch light from every angle.

The 30.3-inch saya is carved from hardwood and coated in piano lacquer, producing a smooth, glossy white surface that mirrors the tsuka's color palette. A brown sageo cord is tied at the kurikata in a neat decorative knot, offering an earthy accent against the otherwise monochrome scabbard.

Weighing 2.55 lbs with a blade width of 1.18 inches, this 1045 Katana balances visual presence with manageable weight. The coordinated white-and-blue color scheme, paired with the gold dragon tsuba, makes it a distinctive addition to any Japanese sword collection or display arrangement.

  • Forged from 1045 carbon steel with a striking blue-finished blade, this full tang katana measures 28.3 inches at the nagasa and achieves 58 HRC hardness for lasting edge retention.
  • White PU samegawa and white leather ito wrap the 10.2-inch hardwood tsuka, delivering a clean monochrome aesthetic with a secure and comfortable grip.
  • Gold-and-black alloy tsuba features an intricately sculpted dragon motif, adding a bold focal point between the blue blade and white handle.
  • White hardwood saya finished in piano lacquer provides a glossy, refined protective sheath, accented by a brown sageo cord tied in a traditional knot.
  • Overall length of 40.5 inches with a total weight of 2.55 lbs - balanced proportions suited for display mounting or collection showcasing.

Blade is high quality, and handle is nicely incorporated with the scabbard. The hand guard is impressively detailed as well.

The blade isn't as bright as I was hoping, but still a beautiful piece. The handle is wrapped nicely and the tsuba has a really cool design.

I'm always skeptical ordering online from an overseas distributor but this was something my daughter really wanted so I went ahead and bought the sword. The shipping took a little longer than I hoped it would. That said, I was given the estimated delivery date of 12/28/2020 and sure enough, it showed up on 12/28/2020. That was great. I was also pleasantly surprised by the sword itself. I don't make swords for a living but the handle, guard, blade and scabbard were all made VERY well. The sword matches the picture exactly, which was also expected, but nice that it actually did. My daughter is extremely happy with the sword and I am very impressed with TRUE KATANA and I would recommend them to a friend.
