Product Details

The blade of this katana is hand-forged from manganese steel and clay tempered to produce a visible hamon line along the edge. Hardened to 60 HRC, the full tang blade carries a chrome-toned finish with deliberate hammer-textured irregularities near the spine, giving each piece a distinct character that reflects traditional forging methods.

A 6.3-inch tsuka is layered with white polyurethane leather samegawa and tightly bound in gold leather ito using a classic diamond wrap pattern. The dark blue accents at the kashira and menuki area create a rich contrast against the bright gold cord, resulting in a handle that feels as refined as it looks.

The black alloy tsuba features a clean round silhouette, providing a simple frame that lets the ornate handle and saya take center stage. Bronze-tone metal fittings at the habaki and seppa tie the guard seamlessly into the broader color scheme.

Enclosing the blade is a hardwood saya coated in piano lacquer and wrapped in leather embossed with an intricate bronze totem pattern. A decorative ring pendant sits on the body of the scabbard, and a dark blue sageo cord secures the saya to the obi position. The gold-and-bronze surface work makes this scabbard one of the most eye-catching elements of the entire piece, and collectors who appreciate this aesthetic can explore more options in our Bronze Katana collection.

At 41 inches overall and 1.5 lbs, this Samurai Sword balances visual impact with manageable weight. Whether mounted on a wall or displayed on a stand, the combination of clay-tempered steel, gold leather wrap, and bronze totem saya delivers a collectible that commands attention. Stand or holder is not included.

  • Hand-forged manganese steel blade with clay-tempered hamon line, hardened to 60 HRC for a refined edge and lasting durability across the full tang construction.
  • Gold leather ito wrap over white polyurethane leather samegawa on a 6.3-inch tsuka, delivering a secure diamond-pattern grip with striking contrast.
  • Black alloy tsuba in a smooth round profile pairs with bronze-tone fittings, anchoring the visual theme between handle and saya.
  • Hardwood saya finished in piano lacquer and wrapped in bronze totem-patterned leather, featuring a decorative ring accent and dark blue sageo cord.
  • Overall length of 41 inches with a 12.5-inch nagasa section, weighing 1.5 lbs for balanced handling and an impressive display presence.

I had only few issues. One being the address and very few updates on where the swords location was along with it not meeting the expected dates. But I love the look and the detail of both swords I am looking forward to expanding with a few more from you all. Thank you Truekatana.
