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.
