Product Details
The blade on this katana is ground from 1060 carbon steel and heat-treated to a hardness of 58 HRC. At 28.74 inches, the nagasa carries a hand-finished chrome polish and a clearly defined hamon line along the edge - details that reflect careful grinding and finishing work rather than machine production. The steel holds an edge well at this hardness level and responds to standard blade maintenance.
The tsuka measures 10.62 inches and is built on a full tang core, meaning the steel extends uninterrupted from tip to pommel. White real rayskin wraps the handle base, and black cotton cord is wound over it in a traditional diamond pattern. Gold menuki ornaments are set beneath the cord wrap, visible at the handle's midpoint. The result is a grip that sits firmly in the hand without shifting.
The tsuba is cast alloy in a silver-gold two-tone finish, shaped around a cloud theme with raised sculptural detail and a prominent gold wing or phoenix accent at center. The fit between tsuba, habaki, and handle is tight, with no lateral play. Matching alloy fuchi and kashira complete the koshirae fittings.
The saya is shaped from natural hardwood and left in a beige, unlacquered finish that shows the wood's grain. A black flame motif is painted along the lower body, and a single kanji character marks the upper section. The brown sageo cord ties at the koiguchi with a clean, traditional knot. At 29.92 inches, the saya fits the blade snugly with an audible click on full insertion. This piece fits naturally among other entries in our 1060 Steel Katana collection.
Total assembled length is 40.55 inches and overall weight is 3.3 lbs, placing this in standard katana proportion. The koshirae-style mounting, visible hamon, full tang structure, and hand-applied saya decoration make it a well-detailed piece for collectors interested in traditional Japanese sword aesthetics.
