High Manganese Steel Katana with Brown Lacquered Saya, Demon Tsuba & Blue-Black Ito

The blade is forged from high manganese steel and polished to a bright chrome finish, with a defined hamon line running its length. At 41 inches overall, the geometry stays consistent from the curved tip back to the full-tang base - the steel extends uninterrupted into the handle for structural integrity throughout the piece. For collectors exploring Brown Manganese Steel Japanese Samurai Swords, this build represents a well-balanced entry into koshirae-style construction.

The tsuka is wrapped in black PU ray-skin (samegawa) beneath a blue-black ito cord, wound in a classic diamond lozenge pattern. The tight, even spacing of the wrap gives the handle a clean, traditional silhouette. Two copper-tone menuki sit beneath the ito, adding low-profile decorative detail visible between the crossings.

The black iron tsuba is the visual centerpiece of the koshirae assembly. Cast with a demon motif in low relief, it carries a matte black finish that makes the carved figures read clearly at close range. A copper-red fuchi at the blade collar bridges the dark tsuba to the handle wrap, tying the metal tones together.

The saya is shaped from hardwood and finished with a hand-painted brown lacquer coat that creates a mottled, textured surface pattern - no two pieces will read identically. A two-tone blue-brown sageo cord is tied at the kurikata with a bow knot, the mixed color echoing the handle ito and completing the Brown Katana color story across the full assembly.

Packaged at 43 x 4 x 4 inches and 4 lbs shipping weight, this katana replica is built for wall mounting or display stand presentation. Note: sword stand or holder is not included.
