Product Details

This katana features a 27.5-inch blade forged from 1045 carbon steel, hand-finished to a hardness of 58 HRC. A visible hamon line traces the length of the nagasa, contrasting against the chrome-polished surface and giving the steel a layered visual depth that catches light at every angle.

The 10.2-inch tsuka is built on a full tang foundation, wrapped tightly with orange cotton ito cord in a traditional crosshatch pattern over white real rayskin. The rayskin panels provide both texture and grip security beneath the ito, while the menuki and fuchi-kashira complement the warm color palette.

At the meeting point of blade and handle sits a gold-tone alloy tsuba shaped in an open chrysanthemum petal design. Each petal is individually defined with raised edges, creating a three-dimensional flower motif that serves as both a hand guard and the visual centerpiece of this Full Tang 1045 Carbon Steel Sword.

The 30.3-inch hardwood saya is coated in a glossy yellow piano lacquer finish that gives it a smooth, mirror-like surface. An orange braided sageo cord is knotted at the kurikata, matching the tsuka ito and tying the entire color scheme together in coordinated warm tones.

Measuring 40.5 inches in overall length and weighing 3.3 lbs, this katana balances visual impact with solid construction. The yellow and gold color scheme makes it a standout addition to any Yellow 1045 Carbon Steel Katana collection or a memorable gift for enthusiasts of Japanese sword craftsmanship.

I order the sword for my niece, who's favorite color is yellow. She mentioned she always wanted a sword and the yellow just made it that much better. She was very happy with the purchase.
