Product Details

The blade is forged from 1045 carbon steel and clay-tempered to achieve 60 HRC hardness, producing a visible hamon line that traces the length of the 28.34-inch nagasa. The steel carries a distinctive teal tint across its surface, giving the entire edge a cool, icy appearance that sets it apart from standard polished finishes. Each blade is hand-polished and sharpened, resulting in a refined edge with clean geometry from spine to tip.

The 10.62-inch tsuka is built on a full tang core and wrapped in light blue cotton cord over white ray-skin samegawa. The wrapping follows a traditional diamond pattern with consistent tension throughout, and the light blue tone pairs naturally with the blade and saya for a cohesive color story. This handle length provides comfortable two-handed positioning for display or handling.

At the junction of blade and handle sits a silver-tone alloy tsuba with an openwork dragon design - coiled and detailed with raised scales and flowing whiskers. A gold-accented brass habaki collar transitions smoothly between the tsuba and blade, adding a warm metallic contrast to the otherwise cool-toned fittings. For collectors drawn to dragon motifs, this piece sits well alongside our Dragon Theme Saya Japanese Samurai Swords collection.

The 29.52-inch hardwood saya is finished in piano lacquer with a teal base color overlaid by dark, abstract branch-like patterning that creates visual texture without overwhelming the surface. A light blue sageo cord is tied in a decorative bow near the mouth of the saya, matching the tsuka wrap and completing the unified blue palette. This saya style is a standout among our broader Blue Katana selection.

At 40.15 inches overall and 2.53 lbs, this katana strikes a balance between presence and manageability. The full tang construction gives it solid weight distribution, while the coordinated teal-and-silver color scheme makes it an immediate focal point on any wall mount or display stand. Stand not included.

This was my first purchase with True Katana so I went with one of the lesser expensive swords. Upon receiving the sword, I found it to be of good quality for the money. That being said I did have an issue with removing the sword from the scabbard. The first time took some finesse and patience as the sword did not want to budge. I eventually was able to free it and worked the sword back and forth until it smoothed out. All in all a fine sword for the money. I will be moving up in price range with my soon to be next purchase with this company.

This is the second time I have purchased katanas as gifts for friends from this company. I was completely satisfied with the purchase, quality, and price. My friends were thrilled to receive them.

Beautiful sword! Seems to be fine craftsmanship and very solid. Also shipped in a timely manner. Bought this as a Christmas gift for my son which is a little over two months away, so he will be the true judge at that time. But from my perspective the sword appears to be of fine quality and a beautiful piece.
