1060 Carbon Steel Katana with Brown Leather Saya and Gold Dragon Tsuba - Full Tang Japanese Sword

This katana features a 28.74-inch blade forged from 1060 carbon steel, hand-finished to a refined edge and hardened to 58 HRC. The full tang construction runs the entire length of the handle, providing solid weight distribution across the sword's 40.94-inch frame. The polished chrome-tone nagasa carries a clean, bright surface that catches light along the gentle curve of the blade.

The 10.23-inch tsuka is built on a hardwood core wrapped in genuine white rayskin (samegawa) for texture and grip. Brown cotton ito cord is tightly wound over the rayskin in a traditional crosshatch pattern, secured internally by dual bamboo meki pins that allow straightforward disassembly for care and maintenance. This katana joins our wider selection of Brown Cord Handle Japanese Samurai Swords for collectors drawn to warm earth-tone aesthetics.

The gold-tone alloy tsuba is one of the standout details on this piece. It carries a deeply engraved dragon motif surrounded by flowing wave and floral relief work, finished with a textured border. The brass-like color pairs naturally with the brown tones of the handle and saya, creating a cohesive warm palette.

A matte brown hardwood saya wrapped in PU leather houses and protects the blade. Gold thread sageo wrapping sits near the mouth of the scabbard, matched with a braided cord and dark tassel that add a finishing decorative touch. The saya measures 30.7 inches and fits the blade snugly for secure storage.

At 3.2 lbs with a 1.26-inch blade width, this 1060 Full Tang Katana delivers the weight and presence expected of a traditionally proportioned Japanese sword. It is well suited for shelf display, wall mounting, or as a centerpiece in a growing katana collection.
