Manganese Steel Katana with Blue Rayskin Saya, Black Ira Tsuba & Black Cord Tsuka

The blade is forged from manganese steel and hardened to 62 HRC, producing a chrome-polished nagasa measuring 28.34 inches. The full-tang construction runs the entire length of the handle, giving the piece solid structural integrity. A cream habaki sits neatly at the base of the blade, providing a clean visual transition into the fittings.

The tsuka extends 10.62 inches and is built on a wood core wrapped in PU black samegawa - an imitation rayskin that replicates the traditional textured grip surface. Black cotton cord is wrapped over it in a classic diagonal ito pattern, creating reliable hand contact and an authentic samurai aesthetic.

The tsuba is cast from black alloy in a geometric open-lattice design: a circular outer ring with symmetrical rectangular cutouts arranged in a grid, a form that references functional Japanese guard work while reading as a strong visual element. The cream habaki beneath it anchors the transition between blade and handle fittings.

The saya is the most striking visual feature of this piece - 29.52 inches of matte blue rayskin wrap cover a wood core, producing a deep blue-grey textured surface that contrasts sharply against the black tsuka. Silver-tone metal hardware including kurikata and a lobster-clasp ring accommodates the black leather sageo strap, which loops cleanly along the body of the saya.
