Product Details

Built on a 28.3-inch nagasa forged from 1045 carbon steel, this katana delivers a chrome-polished surface and a hand-finished edge hardened to 58 HRC. The full tang construction runs the entire length of the handle, providing solid balance at a total weight of 2.65 lbs. A visible hamon line runs along the blade, adding visual depth to the polished steel.

The 10.2-inch tsuka is layered with black ray skin for a textured foundation, then tightly wrapped in purple cotton ito using a traditional diamond pattern. Gold-tone menuki ornaments sit beneath the cord, offering subtle grip reference points while complementing the overall purple-and-gold color scheme.

At the junction of blade and handle, the gold-tone alloy tsuba takes the form of a sunflower with layered petal relief. Each petal carries alternating purple and gray enamel fills outlined in gold, creating an intricate floral motif. Matching alloy fuchi and kashira bookend the handle with engraved gold-tone detailing, tying the fittings together as a cohesive set.

The black hardwood saya is coated in high-gloss piano lacquer, producing a mirror-smooth finish that contrasts sharply with the matte purple sageo cord knotted at the kurikata. At 30.3 inches, the saya sheathes the full nagasa securely while maintaining the sleek visual line of the sword.

With an overall length of 40.5 inches and a blade width of 1.18 inches, this katana is sized as a standard-length collectible Japanese Sword. The combination of purple ito, gold sunflower tsuba, and glossy black saya makes it a distinctive display piece for any collection.

This sword is absolutely quality. It is razor sharp. It is beautiful. And I should have gotten a stand for it. The handle is nice and firm. The blade is straight. The Ray skin is nice and real. The sheath is quality and the finish is beautiful. I just wish they didn't wrap the blade in plastic. It leaves marks on the blade because it wrinkles and leaves air pockets and makes the blade oxidize there.

Sword was of surprisingly good quality, especially considering the price. Arrived on time, and was easily unpacked, which is good because it was also very sharp, which was impressive. Overall, a good experience.

I love the katana, it’s perfectly weighted and not too heavy. It didn’t come exactly as the photo shows, the patina had leaked on the guard but the quality is still amazing.

Very happy with how my order came out. The blade was done very nicely and you can really tell that actual effort went into this. I'd recommend this entire site for buying anything like this. It's very much worth it.
