Product Details

This katana features a 27.5-inch blade forged from 1045 carbon steel, polished to a chrome finish and hardened to 58 HRC. The full tang construction runs the entire length of the handle, giving the piece solid structural integrity. Fine engravings adorn the blade surface with delicate floral motifs that catch light along the polished steel.

The 10.2-inch tsuka is wrapped in brown cotton ito over black real rayskin, creating the classic diamond pattern that defines traditional Japanese sword handles. Gold heart-shaped menuki sit beneath the cord, adding subtle decorative detail visible through the wrap gaps.

A gold-toned alloy tsuba takes center stage with its flowing wave design - swirling curves etched across a round guard that contrasts beautifully against the chrome blade and dark handle. The gold finish carries through to the fuchi and kashira fittings, tying the color palette together.

The 30.3-inch black hardwood saya is coated in piano lacquer, producing a deep glossy mirror finish. Near the mouth of the scabbard, hand-painted gold floral artwork adds a striking visual accent. A brown sageo cord is tied at the kurikata, matching the handle wrap and completing the cohesive brown-and-gold theme against the black body.

At 40.5 inches overall and 3.3 lbs, this Full Tang 1045 Carbon Steel Sword delivers a well-balanced profile. The combination of gold accents, piano lacquer saya, and brown ito places it among the more refined entries in the Black 1045 Katana collection, suited for collectors who value craftsmanship and visual harmony.

  • Forged from 1045 carbon steel with a 27.5-inch polished blade, hardened to 58 HRC for a refined edge and lasting durability across the full tang construction.
  • Brown cotton ito wraps tightly over black real rayskin on a 10.2-inch tsuka, providing a secure textured grip with traditional diamond pattern lacing.

  • Black hardwood saya finished in piano lacquer showcases hand-painted gold floral artwork near the koiguchi, complemented by a brown sageo cord tied at the kurikata.
  • Overall length reaches 40.5 inches with a total weight of 3.3 lbs, balancing visual presence with a manageable profile suited for display and collection.

These are extraordinarily amazing! Although the 2 Katanas I purchased were for gifts and did not arrive in time, nonetheless the quality and beauty were well received. I'm very excited to have found a resource these and hope to make many more purchases as we decide to collect. Thank you so much!

Sword arrived in about 10 days and came oiled, however the sword was sharp on some parts of the blade yet completely dull on most of the blade. If you are buying this sword to actually cut things I wouldn’t buy from this website because it seems they are only for decoration. The sword i ordered looks exactly the way it does in the picture no dings or scratches anywhere on the blade. It’s beautiful to be honest but I can get past how dull the blade is. I won’t be returning to purchase more goods.
