Product Details

The blade is forged from manganese steel and ground to a full-tang profile running the complete length of the handle core. A hand-finished hamon line traces the length of the blade, creating the characteristic wavy temper line that defines traditional katana aesthetics. Dragon engravings are etched along the flat of the blade near the base, adding visual depth without interrupting the clean chrome polish of the main surface.

The tsuka is built on a solid wood core wrapped in black PU samegawa, providing the textured underlayer that gives the handle its structural grip. Black cord ito is wound in the traditional diamond-pattern wrap over the samegawa, with small gold menuki accents visible beneath the crossings of the wrap. The result is a handle that reads as all-black with subtle gold highlights - matching the color story of the tsuba.

The tsuba is cast from alloy in a circular form with sculpted cutouts framing a raised gold dragon coiled against a black-enameled background. Gold-tone fittings on the habaki and collar extend the warm metallic accent from guard to blade, tying the koshirae fittings into a consistent visual set. This dragon theme connects the piece to the broader Dragon Theme Blade Japanese Samurai Swords tradition in Japanese sword aesthetics.

The saya is constructed from hardwood lacquered in matte black, then wrapped along the upper section with black PU leather using a spiral cord binding that mirrors the ito wrap on the handle. The kurikata sits cleanly on the matte surface, and the overall saya profile is straight and slim - designed to complement the all-black color palette of the complete piece. For collectors focused on this aesthetic, the Black Dragon Katana Sword collection covers additional variants in this style.

Total length is 41 inches with a shipping weight of 4 lbs, packaged in a 43 x 4 x 4 inch box. The koshirae-style fittings, engraved blade, and gold-black dragon tsuba make this piece a well-detailed addition to any Japanese sword display.
