1060 Carbon Steel Katana with Gold Floral Copper Tsuba and Black Piano Lacquer Saya - Full Tang Samurai Sword

This full tang katana features a 28.7-inch blade forged from 1060 manganese steel and heat treated to 62 HRC. The steel delivers a clean chrome-tone finish along the polished surface, with a hand-finished edge that runs the full length of the nagasa. At 3.3 lbs and 40.5 inches overall, the proportions follow traditional katana geometry. Collectors seeking more options in this steel grade can browse our 1060 Steel Katana collection.

The 10.6-inch tsuka is wrapped in black ito cord over genuine white rayskin, creating the classic alternating diamond pattern visible along the handle. The contrast between the black cotton wrap and the white samegawa beneath gives the grip a sharp, traditional appearance while providing a textured hold.

At the heart of the fittings sits a real copper tsuba with an openwork floral motif. Gold-tone botanical details are etched across the guard's surface, and the round shape features pierced cloud-like cutouts that add depth and visual interest. Copper fuchi and kashira cap each end of the handle, tying the warm metal tones together.

The black hardwood saya is coated in piano lacquer, producing a mirror-like gloss that highlights the gold painted scenes along its length. Delicate floral branches, grasses, and nature motifs are hand painted across the scabbard surface, giving it a refined decorative quality. A black sageo cord is tied at the kurikata in a traditional knot. For more swords with this scabbard style, see our Black Scabbard Japanese Samurai Swords collection.

Every element - from the polished steel blade to the lacquered saya and copper fittings - is assembled by hand following traditional Japanese sword construction methods. This katana is built as a collector's piece that balances authentic craftsmanship with visual elegance, suitable for display stands or mounted wall presentation.
