Blue Blade 1060 Carbon Steel Katana Sword - Full Tang Japanese Samurai Sword with Speckled Gray Saya and Bamboo Tsuba

This katana features a 27.95-inch blade forged from 1060 carbon steel, finished with a distinctive blue coating that gives the steel a cool, reflective tone. The full tang construction runs through the entire handle, and the blade has been hand-sharpened to a refined edge with a hardness rating of 58 HRC. The blue finish transitions cleanly at the kissaki, creating a striking visual contrast at the tip.

The tsuka measures 10.62 inches and is built on a hardwood core wrapped in white samegawa for texture and grip stability. Black cotton ito is bound in a traditional diamond pattern over the samegawa, producing the classic black-and-white contrast seen on the handle. The fit is snug and even throughout the full length of the grip.

An alloy tsuba sits between blade and handle, featuring an openwork bamboo motif with dark finishing. A brass-toned habaki collar separates the tsuba from the blade, adding a warm gold accent that complements the cooler tones of the steel and fittings. This Blue Blade 1060 Carbon Steel Katana balances artistry with traditional form.

The hardwood saya stretches 29.52 inches and is coated in a distinctive speckled gray-and-white matte finish that resembles stone or granite. Black sageo cord wraps neatly around the saya's kurikata, keeping the visual palette unified in gray, black, and silver tones. The matte texture provides a satisfying grip when drawing.

At 40.15 inches overall and 3.08 lbs, this katana carries solid presence without being unwieldy. It belongs in the same class as other entries in our 1060 Full Tang Katana collection - built with real materials, traditional construction methods, and designed for collectors who value both craftsmanship and visual impact.
