Product Details

The 28.3-inch blade is forged from T10 carbon steel, clay tempered and water quenched to produce a hardness of 60 HRC. The differential hardening process yields a genuine hamon line running the full length of the nagasa - a visible boundary between the harder edge and softer spine that is the hallmark of traditional Japanese blade craft. The chrome-finish blade surface catches light cleanly, making the hamon contours easy to appreciate from any angle.

The tsuka measures 10.2 inches and is constructed full tang, wrapped in black cord over white samegawa in a traditional diamond pattern. The white menuki accents punctuate the wrap at regular intervals, adding textural contrast against the dark cord. This handle geometry and the 2.65 lb total weight place the balance point naturally forward of the tsuba for a responsive feel.

The tsuba is cast from alloy in a gold-black colorway, featuring a raised dragon cloud design - a coiling dragon rendered in gold against a dark sculpted field with cloud formations. The square-oval form with cutout detailing frames the blade cleanly and serves as a strong visual centerpiece for the full assembly. Collectors drawn to Gold Dragon Tsuba Katana designs will find this fitting particularly detailed.

The hardwood saya is finished in piano lacquer with a black base and scattered gold fleck patterning throughout, giving the scabbard a dimensional, textured appearance rather than a flat lacquer coat. The black sageo cord ties off at the kurikata with a clean knot, completing the black-and-gold color scheme carried across handle, tsuba, and saya. For more options in this aesthetic, see the full Dragon Theme Blade Katana collection.

Overall length is 40.5 inches with a saya length of 30.3 inches, shipping weight of 4 lbs in a 43 x 4 x 4 inch package. This koshirae-style katana is presented as a fully assembled replica with hand-finished blade, complete fittings, and black sageo - suited for display or collection.
