Product Details

The blade on this katana is forged from manganese steel and hardened to 62 HRC, delivering a dense, resilient edge with a bright chrome-polished surface. At 27.5 inches, the nagasa carries a graceful curvature typical of traditional Japanese geometry, and the sharpened edge is hand-finished along the full length. This sword is part of our 1060 Full Tang Katana collection, which highlights full-tang builds across a range of steel types and handle configurations.

The full-tang construction extends through the entire 10.2-inch tsuka, anchoring the blade firmly within the handle assembly. The tsuka is wrapped in brown cotton ito using a traditional diamond-knot pattern over black PU samegawa, creating a visually warm contrast against the bright steel. The overall sword measures 41.5 inches and weighs 3 lbs, with balance point placement suited for both display and handling.

The silver alloy tsuba is cast in an ornate scroll pattern, with intricate relief detailing across its face and open corner cutouts that give it a refined, layered look. A cream-colored habaki collar transitions cleanly between tsuba and blade, completing the fittings assembly. The metalwork reads as polished silver throughout, complementing both the chrome blade and the warm brown ito.

The saya is shaped from hardwood and finished in a deep black piano lacquer coat that reflects light evenly across its surface. At 30.3 inches, it sheathes the blade with a secure fit. A black sageo cord is knotted at the kurigata with a gold accent ring adding a subtle detail at the retention point. The Black 1060 Carbon Steel Katana collection features similarly finished saya configurations for collectors focused on this color palette.

With a koshirae-style mounting, this katana brings together the brown ito tsuka, silver scroll tsuba, and black lacquer saya into a cohesive aesthetic. The 62 HRC blade hardness, sharpened edge, and full-tang build make it a well-constructed piece for display or handling practice. It is a solid choice for collectors who want traditional Japanese sword proportions with visually striking fittings.

  • Blade forged from manganese steel, hardened to 62 HRC and hand-polished to a bright chrome finish - 27.5 inches of precisely finished nagasa with a sharpened edge.
  • Full-tang construction runs the entire length of the 10.2-inch tsuka, providing solid balance across the 41.5-inch overall length and 3 lb total weight.
  • Tsuka wrapped in brown cotton ito over black PU samegawa, diamond-pattern knots spaced evenly along the grip for a secure, traditional aesthetic.
  • Silver alloy tsuba features an ornate scroll motif with detailed relief carving and open cutouts at the corners - a standout accent against the polished blade.
  • Black hardwood saya finished in high-gloss piano lacquer with matching black sageo cord and a gold-accented kurigata - clean contrast to the warm brown handle.
