Product Details
The blade on this katana is forged from manganese steel and ground to a refined edge, with a hamon line running along the ji that catches light along the transition between edge and spine. The polished chrome finish highlights the geometry of the blade profile, from the flat of the shinogi down to the boshi at the tip. A full-tang construction runs the blade steel continuously into the handle assembly.
The tsuka is wrapped in brown cotton ito in a traditional diamond-pattern over black same panels, with gold-tone menuki nestled beneath the wrap at the grip. The fuchi at the base of the handle is finished in a copper-rose tone that bridges the dark tsuba and the warm brown of the ito.
The tsuba is cut in a bold gear silhouette - a black iron-finished geometric form with deeply scalloped teeth around the perimeter. It is one of the more visually distinctive guard shapes available in Handmade Japanese Katana configurations, and it anchors the color contrast between the dark blade spine and the warm handle tones.
The saya is shaped from natural hardwood left in its warm brown tone with visible grain texture across the surface. A brown sageo cord is secured at the kurikata with a traditional wrap and tassel finish, and a small gold-tone kojiri cap closes the tip of the scabbard. The overall saya finish is unfussy and natural-looking, letting the wood speak for itself.
Overall length is 41 inches and total weight is 3 lbs. Packaged in a 43 x 4 x 4 inch box at a shipping weight of 4 lbs. This piece is offered as a replica and collector's display item.
