Product Details

The blade is forged from layered damascus steel, running 28.3 inches in nagasa length and hardened to 60 HRC. The steel takes on a deep dark red finish, and the folded construction creates visible grain patterns along the flat - no hamon line is present, letting the damascus texture itself serve as the visual signature of the blade.

The full tang tsuka measures 10.6 inches and is wrapped in white cotton ito over genuine rayskin, keeping the wrap pattern tight and the grip balanced. Gold-tone menuki accent the tsuka at traditional positions, adding warmth against the clean white wrapping.

The tsuba is cast in alloy in a gold-and-black finish, engraved with a chrysanthemum theme - a motif associated with refinement and the Japanese imperial aesthetic. The gold rim picks up the menuki color and ties the fitting palette together across the entire koshirae.

The saya is built from hardwood and finished in a deep dark green piano lacquer, producing a high-gloss, mirror-like surface. A purple multi-tone sageo cord is knotted at the kurigata, providing a vivid contrast against the dark green body. The koiguchi fittings are finished in matching gold tone. At 30.3 inches, the saya houses the blade with a clean fit.

Assembled at 40.9 inches overall and weighing 3 lbs, this tachi is presented in full koshirae style. The dark red blade against the white tsuka and dark green saya creates a high-contrast display profile suited for collectors drawn to Nodachi Samurai Sword and long-sword aesthetics. The chrysanthemum tsuba and layered damascus grain make this a visually distinct piece in any Japanese sword collection.

Sword quality is very good and so was the customer service. It was only about 3 weeks from the time I ordered the sword until I received it. This Tachi is the 19th sword I have purchased over the past 2 years and I will buy more from True Katana as I expand my collection.
