Product Details

This katana features a 28.34-inch blade forged from 1060 carbon steel with a distinctive blue finish. The steel is heat-treated to 58 HRC hardness and carries a hand-finished edge along the full tang construction. Dual bamboo mekugi pins lock the blade securely into the handle, ensuring structural integrity throughout the sword.

The 10.62-inch tsuka is wrapped in black cotton ito cord over genuine blue rayskin samegawa. The tight diamond-pattern wrap provides a traditional look while the rayskin adds texture and visual depth beneath the binding. Each layer is fitted by hand, giving the handle a clean and consistent profile.

A black alloy round tsuba sits between blade and handle, its minimal circular design framing a gold-tone habaki collar that transitions smoothly into the blue-finished blade. This pairing of black iron-look alloy and warm gold accents adds a refined contrast to the piece. Among Blue 1060 Carbon Steel Katana options, this combination stands out for its restrained elegance.

The 29.52-inch hardwood saya is finished in deep blue piano lacquer and decorated with an intricate web of gold and silver thread patterns across its entire surface. A black sageo cord is tied at the kurikata, and a polished blue gemstone-style bead accents the knot. The lacquer finish protects the wood while delivering a rich, glossy appearance that catches light at every angle.

At 40.15 inches overall and 2.64 lbs, this 1060 Full Tang Katana balances presence with proportion. The coordinated blue blade, blue saya with gold threading, and black handle wrappings create a cohesive display piece suited for collectors who value both craftsmanship and visual impact.

  • Forged from 1060 carbon steel, the 28.34-inch blue-finished blade reaches 58 HRC hardness with a hand-finished edge and full tang construction secured by dual bamboo pegs.
  • Black cotton ito wraps over genuine blue rayskin samegawa on a 10.62-inch tsuka, delivering a firm traditional grip with authentic Japanese aesthetics.
  • Blue hardwood saya finished in piano lacquer features intricate gold and silver thread patterns across the surface, paired with a black sageo cord for secure carry.
  • Black alloy round tsuba with gold-tone habaki creates a clean transition between blade and handle, complementing the overall blue and black color scheme.
  • Total length measures 40.15 inches with a weight of 2.64 lbs - sized and balanced for display collections or as a striking centerpiece.

Ok first things first with the visuals of the katana it’s stunning the blue blade, the design of the tsuba and saya immaculate but one thing that is slightly bothersome is the habaki which is slightly loose I don’t know if that’s supposed to be like that but other than that it’s good for 144 dollars will be getting a stand and a few more katanas to collect soon

The Katana is absolutely stunning! While I will only be using it as a display, it is nonethess something special to hold. The balance and feel of the Katana are exceptional. I am glad I found True Katana for this purchase. And the stand, which I also purchased from True Katana, is perfect for displaying my Katana sword.

I would take a picture of my order but I cannot at this moment but I can confirm that I did receive it, the packaging was not damage in any way and I'm very happy with it. It arrived to my location within 3-5 days in a very quick manner. The product is in amazing quality with no scratches and is exactly what I paid for I 10/10 would recommend purchasing from here I got exactly what I wanted and expected for a lower price than I expected.

I purchased the Handmade Japanese Katana Sword 1060 Carbon Steel With Blue Blade And Scabbard and the Handmade Japanese Katana Sword T10 Carbon Steel Real Hamon. Both swords look some what cheaper in person than the sales picture. The hilt seems to be a colored plastic with cord wrap not wood. Having said that the swords feel solid and all the fittings are tight. I have not and won’t be doing any destruction tests of these blades so I can’t say how durable they truly are but I would not trust my life on these swords in a fight unless I had no other choice

Overall: collectible pieces but questionable strength and durability

Overall I'm satisficed with my purchase. I was very surprised how quickly the sword arrived. The craftsmanship on the entire sward and scabbard is amazing for the price I paid. Truly visually appealing overall. But the Tsuba is very plain and cheap looking and really doesn't go well with the other aspects of the sword. I was thinking of either purchasing a better looking Tsuba of machining my own piece to replace the current one. The blade has been sharpened, but not as sharp as I would like it to be. The sword is slightly unbalanced and hard to control all the way through to the tip. But for a beater sword that still looks very professionally made it is a good purchase.

This is a good solid blade with nice balance and a sharp edge. The 1060 steel alloy is a true Nagasa 58. This alloy doesn't get any harder.
Worth every penny.
