Product Details
The blade is forged from 1045 carbon steel, heat-treated to 58 HRC for consistent hardness throughout the straight nagasa profile. At 20 inches in length, the chrome-polished surface carries a hand-engraved vine motif that flows from the habaki toward the tip - a decorative detail that elevates the blade well beyond a standard display piece. The edge is sharpened and finished by hand for a clean, precise profile.
The handle measures 9 inches and is built on a full tang core for structural integrity from tip to pommel. Red polyurethane leather samegawa wraps the wooden core beneath a black cord wrap, creating the high-contrast black-and-red diamond pattern visible across the grip. The construction follows traditional koshirae assembly, giving the piece an authentic layered build.
The tsuba is cast from alloy in a gold tone, sculpted with a chrysanthemum petal motif in raised relief. The chrysanthemum is one of Japan's most enduring symbols - associated with the imperial family and used widely in classical sword furniture. It creates a bold focal point between blade and handle, with the warm gold contrasting against both the black wrap and the polished steel.
The saya is crafted from hardwood and finished in black piano lacquer, producing a deep, reflective gloss surface. A white vine engraving mirrors the blade's decorative motif, running along the upper section of the scabbard for visual continuity. The gold sageo cord is attached at the kurikata and finished with a traditional tassel. Saya length is 20.5 inches, closely matched to the nagasa.

Total overall length is 31 inches, weight is 3.5 lbs, and the piece is presented in koshirae style with all fittings assembled. This straight katana suits collectors drawn to Japanese sword aesthetics with a strong decorative character - the vine engravings, chrysanthemum tsuba, and piano lacquer saya form a cohesive visual theme across every component.
