Product Details
This full tang katana features a 28.3-inch blade forged from 1045 carbon steel and hardened to 58 HRC. The hand-polished chrome finish reveals clean lines along the edge and a smooth transition through the kissaki tip, visible in every angle of this carefully shaped nagasa. At three pounds, it carries the heft and proportion of a traditional Japanese sword built to authentic scale.
The tsuka stretches 10.2 inches and is constructed over a hardwood core wrapped in white ray skin. Black cotton ito cord is tightly wound in a traditional diamond pattern, with flashes of the red same beneath each cross adding a vivid accent that ties the handle visually to the saya. The fit between tsuka and habaki is snug, with no rattle or play when seated.
An antique gold-tone alloy tsuba sits at the center of this katana's design. The round guard features an openwork bamboo leaf pattern with delicate veining and stems radiating outward, framed by a braided rope-style rim. This naturalistic motif brings an organic elegance that contrasts with the precision of the steel blade above it.
The 30.3-inch hardwood saya is coated in a deep red piano lacquer that produces a rich, mirror-like gloss under any lighting. A black sageo cord is tied at the kurikata in a traditional knot, and the koiguchi fits firmly against the habaki for a clean draw and secure storage. The dark-to-crimson gradient visible along the saya's surface gives the scabbard a dramatic depth that photographs beautifully. This piece pairs well with other swords in the Red-black 1045 Carbon Steel Katana collection.
With an overall length of 41 inches and a blade width of 1.18 inches, this katana is proportioned for wall display, stand mounting, or as a centerpiece in a growing sword collection. Every fitting - from the kashira cap to the kojiri tip - echoes the black and red color story that runs through the entire build, making it a cohesive and striking replica of classical Japanese swordcraft.
