Product Details

This katana features a 28.74-inch nagasa forged from 1060 carbon steel, hand-finished to a hardness of 58 HRC. The full tang construction runs the entire length of the handle, providing structural integrity and balanced weight distribution. The chrome-polished surface of the steel carries a clean, reflective finish along the flat with a defined edge line.

The 10.62-inch tsuka is built over a black real rayskin samegawa, wrapped tightly with brown cotton ito in a traditional diamond-cross pattern. The wrap is consistent and firm, and the brown cord creates a warm contrast against the dark rayskin beneath. A brown sageo cord is tied at the saya mouth in a decorative knot.

The round alloy tsuba is one of the standout details on this piece. It features a deeply engraved phoenix design surrounded by swirling wave patterns, with a gold-tone rim that catches light and adds dimension to the guard. This motif pairs well with the dragon imagery on the saya, creating a dragon-and-phoenix thematic set.

The 29.92-inch hardwood saya is coated in a glossy piano lacquer finish in deep black. A hand-painted golden dragon wraps across the lower half of the scabbard, accented with red, white, and gold details depicting clouds and flames. This painted section is the visual centerpiece of the katana and gives it a bold, ornamental character.

At 40.55 inches in overall length and 3.3 lbs in weight, this is a full-size katana built for collectors who appreciate detailed fittings and thematic artwork. Browse more options in our 1060 Katana Sword collection, or explore the Black Samurai Sword series for similar dark-themed designs.

I ordered a mid range priced katana just to see the quality. I just wanted to personally write the review. This katana is beautiful the inlays and the detail exceeded my expectations. The blade is just as beautiful as the sheath. I probably called it the wrong. I will definitely order more from there. The best place to buy a katana hands down.

Beautiful blade buy it isn't sharp. I'm assuming that if you want the sharp one you have to go to the performance katana section which makes sense. Overall I'm happy the design on sheath is as pictures but felt slightly small on the blade which really doesn't matter since it's for decoration purposes.

For my son's birthday. There were plenty of choices online and his friend bought a sword from Truekatana and loved it, so I trusted the website. All he keeps saying, "This is so cool!" It arrived in 6 days, less than half the quoted delivery time!!! He says it's his birthday gift ever. Only rule I had was he doesn't use it around his brother.
