Product Details
This blue katana is forged from 1045 carbon steel and heat-treated to 58 HRC hardness, delivering a solid and dependable blade. The entire blade surface carries a striking blue coating with detailed cherry blossom engravings that extend from the habaki to near the kissaki, giving it a distinctive artistic character. At 27.6 inches, the nagasa offers traditional katana proportions with a sharpened edge and clean geometry. This piece belongs among our wider selection of 1045 Carbon Steel Japanese Samurai Swords.
The tsuka measures 10.2 inches and features white rayskin (samegawa) beneath tightly wound blue ito cord in a traditional diamond wrap pattern. The wrap is consistent and even, providing a secure grip and a refined visual texture against the white same panels.
The tsuba is a standout element - crafted from blue-finished alloy with an openwork cherry blossom and branch design. Silver-tone engravings cover the surface with floral details, while gold-tone accents at the seppa add contrast. The overall effect is ornate without being cluttered.
The hardwood saya is coated in deep blue piano lacquer, giving it a glossy, mirror-like surface. White hand-engraved motifs including cherry blossoms, butterflies, and tulip shapes decorate the body of the scabbard. A blue braided sageo wraps around a gold-tone kurikata, and the kojiri tip features matching floral engravings on a dark blue base. This sword fits naturally within the Blue 1045 Katana collection.
The full tang construction runs through the entire handle for structural integrity, bringing the total weight to 3.3 lbs and overall length to 40.5 inches. Every component - from the blue blade to the lacquered saya - maintains a cohesive deep blue and white color palette that sets this katana apart as a unified display piece.
Whether mounted on a stand or held in hand, this blue katana offers a bold combination of traditional Japanese sword form and artistic engraving work, making it a compelling addition for collectors drawn to color-themed or floral-motif swords.
