Product Details

This full tang katana features a 27.5-inch blade hand-forged from 1045 carbon steel, heat-treated to 58 HRC. The steel carries a distinctive purple finish that shifts subtly under different lighting, giving the nagasa a unique presence among Purple Blade Japanese Samurai Swords. The edge is hand-finished along the full length for a refined profile.

The 10.2-inch tsuka is built over a full tang core, wrapped in white imitation ray skin for texture and layered with teal cotton ito in a traditional crosshatch pattern. The wrapping sits tight against the handle, providing a firm and comfortable hold with no looseness at the knots.

A gold-tone alloy tsuba separates the blade from the handle, featuring an open slotted design with a textured fuchi collar beneath it. The gold finish contrasts sharply against both the purple blade and teal grip, making the guard a visual centerpiece of the sword.

The saya is crafted from hardwood and coated in black piano lacquer with a white marble-style pattern that adds depth to the surface. A teal sageo cord is tied at the koiguchi with a traditional bow, matching the tsuka ito and completing the color theme. A black kurikata with a gold-rimmed eye detail anchors the sageo neatly.

At 40.5 inches overall and 3.2 lbs, this 1045 Katana is a full-size collectible piece with a cohesive teal, purple, and gold color scheme. Every component - from the hand-forged blade to the lacquered saya - is assembled by hand, making it a thoughtful display piece or gift for anyone who appreciates Japanese sword craftsmanship.

  • Hand-forged 1045 carbon steel blade at 27.5 inches with a distinctive purple finish and a hardness rating of 58 HRC for lasting edge retention.

  • Black hardwood saya finished in piano lacquer with white marble-style patterning, paired with a teal sageo cord tied in a traditional knot at the koiguchi.
