Product Details

This full tang katana features a 1045 carbon steel blade with a striking light purple swirl pattern that runs from the kissaki tip through the entire length of the steel. The flowing, marbled texture gives the blade a distinctive appearance that stands apart from standard polished finishes, while the 1045 carbon steel provides a reliable balance of hardness and flexibility suited for a collectible piece.

The handle is built on a hardwood core wrapped in white PU samegawa, then bound tightly with deep blue ito cord in a traditional diamond-wrap pattern. The contrast between the crisp white same and the saturated blue cord creates a clean, bold look that anchors the sword's overall color scheme.

At the guard position sits a round alloy tsuba with an openwork dragon motif rendered in silver tone. The intricate dragon design is surrounded by scrollwork and crescent cutouts, adding visual depth without excess weight. A gold-tone habaki collar transitions smoothly between tsuba and blade, providing both a color accent and a snug fit within the saya. For those drawn to this style, the Blue Dragon Katana collection features more pieces with similar dragon-themed fittings.

The hardwood saya is finished in a premium natural lacquer that carries a blue floral texture across its surface, complemented by a matching blue sageo cord tied at the kurikata. The textured lacquer gives the scabbard a dimensional quality that pairs seamlessly with the blue ito on the handle, tying the entire presentation together.

Measuring 41 inches in overall length and weighing 3 lbs, this 1045 Katana delivers a substantial feel in hand. The purple swirl blade, blue floral saya, and dragon tsuba combine into a cohesive display piece that brings both color and craftsmanship to any collection shelf or wall mount.

  • Full tang 1045 carbon steel blade with a distinctive light purple swirl pattern across the entire surface, hand-finished to a refined edge for display quality.
  • Hardwood handle wrapped in white PU samegawa and deep blue ito cord in a traditional diamond pattern, providing a secure and visually striking grip.
  • Hardwood saya finished in premium natural lacquer with a blue floral texture, paired with a matching blue sageo cord for a cohesive design.
