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!
