Product Details
The blade on this katana is forged from high manganese steel and brought to a polished chrome finish, producing a bright, mirror-like surface along the flat and a cleanly hand-finished edge. The steel holds its geometry well through the distal taper, with a pronounced kissaki tip visible in the detail shot - shaped to a fine point with consistent bevels on both sides. For collectors interested in manganese steel construction across different colorways, the Red-black Manganese Steel Katana collection offers comparable blade builds with contrasting aesthetics.
The tsuka is wrapped in black cord over a textured diamond-pattern base, giving the handle a firm, non-slip surface. Two brass mekugi pins lock the full tang securely in place, and a gold-toned habaki collar sits flush at the base of the blade, providing a clean mechanical seat against the guard. The fuchi at the handle collar is finished in matching black, maintaining the overall monochrome palette.
The tsuba is the defining design element of this piece - a silver-finish skull cast in detailed relief, rendered with expressive facial features and surface texture. The guard is sized proportionally to the handle and blade, and the silver tone creates a deliberate contrast against the all-black hardware surrounding it. This skull motif gives the sword a distinct visual identity within the All Black Samurai Sword category.
The saya is constructed from hardwood with a natural lacquer finish in gloss black. A black sageo cord is attached at the kurikata, and the kojiri end cap is fitted with a small metal ring mount. The lacquer surface is smooth and even, with no visible grain texture through the finish - consistent with a standard hardwood lacquer application.
Overall length measures 41 inches with a shipping weight of 4 lbs and package dimensions of 43 x 4 x 4 inches. The sword stand or holder is not included. This piece is suited for display collections, wall mounting, or cosplay use where a strong visual presence and detailed fittings are the priority.
