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.
