Product Details

This katana features a 28.3-inch nagasa forged from 1045 carbon steel and hardened to 58 HRC. The full tang blade carries a visible hamon line along its length, tapering to a hand-finished kissaki. The steel delivers solid toughness and edge retention, making this a standout piece among 1045 High Carbon Steel Sword collectibles.

The 10.2-inch tsuka is built on a hardwood core wrapped in genuine white rayskin for grip texture and moisture resistance. Over the rayskin sits a tightly wound black cotton ito in a traditional diamond pattern, secured by black menuki fittings underneath that add both visual depth and tactile feedback in the hand.

Guarding the blade is an alloy tsuba finished in a gold-and-dark-silver tone with an openwork bamboo leaf design. The cut-through motif lets light pass between the stylized leaves and stalks, giving the guard a layered, sculptural quality. A gold habaki collar sits beneath the tsuba, locking the blade securely into the saya.

The 30.3-inch hardwood saya is finished in piano lacquer with a striking black crackle pattern that reveals warm golden veins beneath the surface. This textured finish gives each scabbard a one-of-a-kind look. A black sageo cord is knotted at the kurikata, and the koiguchi features matching crackle lacquer for a seamless transition from scabbard to blade.

At 40.5 inches overall and 2.65 lbs, this Forged Katana balances visual presence with comfortable proportions. The contrast of black ito, white rayskin, gold-accented tsuba, and crackle-pattern saya creates a cohesive display piece suited for wall mounting, stand presentation, or as a collector's centerpiece.

  • Forged from 1045 carbon steel with a full tang construction, this 28.3-inch nagasa is hand-finished to a refined edge and hardened to 58 HRC for reliable strength and lasting sharpness.
  • The 10.2-inch tsuka features white real rayskin beneath tightly wound black cotton cord, delivering a secure grip with a classic black-and-white diamond pattern.
  • An alloy tsuba in a gold-accented finish showcases an openwork bamboo leaf motif, symbolizing resilience and flexibility in traditional Japanese aesthetics.
  • The 30.3-inch hardwood saya is coated in piano lacquer with a distinctive black crackle pattern revealing golden undertones, paired with a black sageo for a refined silhouette.
  • Overall length measures 40.5 inches with a blade width of 1.26 inches and a total weight of 2.65 lbs - well-balanced for display or collection purposes.
