Product Details

This manganese steel katana features a 29-inch blade finished in a deep blue tone with bold white lightning streaks running from spine to edge. Forged to 60 HRC hardness, the manganese steel delivers a precision-finished edge with reliable toughness. The blue and white patterning gives each blade a dramatic, storm-inspired character that sets it apart from standard polished finishes.

The tsuka measures 10.25 inches and is built on a full tang core wrapped in black samegawa beneath silver ito cord. Gold menuki accents sit beneath the wrapping, adding subtle contrast against the silver diamond pattern. The grip is secure and well-proportioned relative to the blade length, making the katana feel balanced when held or mounted.

A blue alloy tsuba with an open-slot design serves as the handguard, flanked by gold habaki and seppa fittings. The blue tone of the tsuba echoes the blade finish, while the gold details tie into the menuki and fuchi accents for a unified color palette across the entire sword.

The saya is crafted from hardwood with a matte off-white surface covered in a fine crackle texture, resembling frost or fractured ice. A silver sageo cord is tied near the koiguchi, and silver-toned kurikata and kojiri caps finish the scabbard ends. The crackle pattern on the saya mirrors the lightning motif of the blade, creating a cohesive visual theme.

With an overall length of 104 cm and a weight of 2 kg, this Manganese Steel Katana is built for collectors who want a visually distinctive piece. The lightning-themed blue blade, coordinated blue tsuba, and textured off-white saya make it a standout addition to any Japanese Sword collection.
