Product Details

This Japanese sword features a 28.34-inch blade forged from 1045 carbon steel, finished in a deep blue tone through a specialized heat treatment process. Hardened to 58 HRC, the steel delivers solid edge retention and corrosion resistance. The full tang construction runs through the entire handle, ensuring structural integrity from tip to pommel. Among Blue Sword options, the rich color of this blade stands out with a gradient that shifts from deep navy near the habaki to a vivid steel blue at the kissaki.

The tsuka measures 10.23 inches and is built on a hardwood core wrapped in white ray-skin samegawa. White ito cord is tightly wound in a traditional diamond pattern, with small gold menuki accents visible between the wraps. The result is a grip that feels secure in hand and maintains a cohesive white-and-gold color palette.

At the junction of blade and handle sits a gold alloy tsuba featuring an intricately cast dragon motif. The dragon relief is rendered in gold against a black recessed background, with fine detailing visible in the scales, claws, and swirling clouds. A gold habaki collar locks the blade firmly into the saya and completes the transition from steel to fitting. This piece fits naturally among Dragon Sword designs that draw on traditional Japanese mythology.

The 30.31-inch saya is crafted from hardwood and coated in white piano lacquer, producing a high-gloss, mirror-smooth surface. A brown sageo cord is wrapped around the kurikata in a neat pattern, introducing a warm earth tone that breaks up the white exterior without competing with it. The koiguchi mouth fits snugly around the blade for a satisfying draw and secure storage.

Weighing 2.64 lbs overall, this sword balances visual drama with practical proportions. The blue-white-gold color scheme gives it a refined, almost ceremonial presence that works equally well mounted on a wall or displayed on a stand. Every fitting is hand-assembled, and the combination of 1045 steel construction, piano lacquer finish, and dragon tsuba design makes it a distinctive addition to any collection.

  • Forged from 1045 carbon steel, the 28.34-inch blade features a striking blue finish achieved through a specialized heat treatment process, hardened to 58 HRC for lasting edge retention.
  • White hardwood saya finished in piano lacquer creates a smooth, glossy surface that pairs with brown sageo cord wrapping for a clean contrast in traditional Japanese style.
  • Gold alloy tsuba showcases an intricate dragon relief design with black detailing, adding a bold centerpiece between the blue blade and white handle.
  • Full tang construction with white ito cord wrapped in a traditional diamond pattern over white ray-skin samegawa, providing a secure and comfortable 10.23-inch grip.
  • Complete sword weighs 2.64 lbs with a 30.31-inch saya, balancing visual impact with a manageable profile for display or collection purposes.

Sadly I was sent the wrong sword. Everything was going great and then they said there was nothing wrong with my order. However the whole katana is different. Now I’m left playing the waiting game hoping I can get the actually Katana I actually ordered. The katana I received is really nice it’s just not the one I bought.
