Product Details

The blade of this katana is forged from 1045 carbon steel, spanning 28.3 inches with a chrome-toned finish and a hardness rating of 58 HRC. The steel delivers a solid balance between toughness and edge retention, and the full tang construction runs the entire length of the handle for structural integrity. A visible hamon line traces the edge of the blade, adding visual depth to the polished surface. This piece sits comfortably within the broader 1045 Katana collection for those exploring this steel grade.

The tsuka measures 10.2 inches and is built on a hardwood core wrapped in PU black samegawa to simulate the texture of traditional rayskin. Blue cotton ito is wound over the samegawa in a tight diamond pattern, providing both grip and a striking visual contrast against the dark underlayer. The wrapping is consistent from the fuchi collar down to the kashira end cap.

At the junction of blade and handle, a round alloy tsuba finished in gold showcases an elaborate floral motif. The design covers the entire face of the guard, with layered petals, stems, and leaves carved in relief. A raised gold habaki collar sits just above, locking the blade securely into the saya while adding another warm metallic accent.

The saya is carved from hardwood and coated in a matte black finish that keeps the look understated. It measures 30.3 inches and includes a blue sageo cord tied in a traditional knot near the mouth of the scabbard. The sageo matches the ito on the handle, giving the katana a unified blue-and-black color scheme from tip to tail.

At 40.5 inches overall and 2.65 lbs, this katana is built to traditional proportions. The blade width sits at 1.26 inches, and the balance point falls close to the tsuba for comfortable handling. Whether displayed on a stand or mounted on a wall, this Carbon Katana pairs authentic Japanese sword aesthetics with accessible 1045 steel construction.

  • Forged from 1045 carbon steel with a 28.3-inch full tang blade, hand-finished to a refined edge with a hardness of 58 HRC for reliable durability and long-lasting performance.
  • Blue cotton ito wraps tightly over PU black samegawa in a traditional diamond pattern, seated on a 10.2-inch hardwood tsuka that delivers a firm and balanced grip.
  • Gold-toned alloy tsuba features an intricate floral relief on both faces, with fine petal and vine detailing that catches light and adds a refined accent to the overall silhouette.
  • Black matte hardwood saya stretches 30.3 inches and pairs with a matching blue sageo cord, creating a cohesive color theme that ties the scabbard and handle together.
  • Overall length measures 40.5 inches with a blade width of 1.26 inches and a total weight of 2.65 lbs, sized for display mounting or shelf presentation.

It's built nicely, but the handguard has recently started moving. It's also sharp blade.
