Product Details

This katana features a 1045 carbon steel blade heat-treated to 58 HRC, finished in a deep blue tone with dramatic white lightning-pattern veins that branch across the entire surface from spine to kissaki. The sharpened edge transitions cleanly from the blue finish, and the blade measures 21.5 inches with a natural curve suited for display and collection. Among Blue Blade Japanese Samurai Swords, this lightning motif stands out as one of the most visually dynamic options available.

The tsuka spans 6.5 inches and is wrapped in white ito cord using a traditional diamond-cross pattern over black ray-skin samegawa. The contrast between the bright white cord and the dark underlayer gives the handle a crisp, layered look while providing a textured grip surface.

A round alloy tsuba in deep navy blue anchors the transition from handle to blade. Gold-toned accents on the habaki collar and fuchi-kashira end caps add warmth to the otherwise cool silver-and-blue palette. The orchid-themed detailing on the fittings brings a refined touch to the guard assembly.

The hardwood saya is coated in a white crackle-texture finish that mimics frost or shattered ice, tying into the lightning theme of the blade. A white sageo cord is tied at the kurikata, completing the monochromatic white presentation of the scabbard. The saya fits the blade securely with a snug habaki seat.

At 41 inches overall and 3 lbs in weight, this Samurai Sword balances presence with manageability. The full tang construction runs through the entire handle, and every fitting - from the gold-rimmed habaki to the silver kashira pommel - is assembled by hand. No sword stand is included.

  • Forged from 1045 carbon steel at 58 HRC hardness, the blade features a striking deep blue finish with white lightning-pattern veins running from spine to edge.
  • White ito cord wraps the tsuka in a diamond pattern over black ray-skin samegawa, delivering a clean silver-and-white aesthetic with a secure grip.
  • Round alloy tsuba in deep navy blue with gold-accented habaki and an orchid-themed fuchi-kashira complement the sword's blue-and-white color scheme.
  • White crackle-textured hardwood saya with matching white sageo cord creates a cohesive frost-like appearance that pairs with the lightning-motif blade.
  • Full tang construction with an overall length of 41 inches, 21.5-inch blade, and a total weight of 3 lbs - built for balanced handling and confident display.

Frequently Asked Questions

What steel is used and how hard is the blade?
The blade is forged from 1045 carbon steel, heat-treated to a hardness of 58 HRC. It comes sharpened with a refined edge and features a deep blue finish overlaid with white lightning-pattern veins across the full length of the 21.5-inch blade.
How is the lightning pattern on the blade created?
The lightning veins are applied as a white branching pattern over the deep blue blade finish, creating a high-contrast effect that runs from the spine down toward the edge. This gives each blade a dramatic, storm-inspired appearance distinct from standard polished katana.
What materials are the tsuba and saya made from?
The round tsuba is made from alloy in deep navy blue with gold-toned accents on the habaki and fuchi-kashira. The saya is crafted from hardwood with a white crackle-texture surface finish and a matching white sageo cord, creating a cohesive frost-like aesthetic.

This is the third katana I've ordered from True Katana, and it did not disappoint. The blade is beautiful! We actually made a mistake on our order and I emailed them right after I placed the order. I was a little nervous because they just provided an email address, and not a phone number, but they replied promptly and corrected the mistake for me. The whole process was very easy and hassle free. Thanks for a beautiful product and great customer service!
