Spring Steel Katana with Black Saya and Samurai Tsuba - Full Tang Collectible Sword in Black and Silver

This full tang katana features a spring steel blade measuring 28.74 inches, heat-treated to 58 HRC hardness. The polished chrome-finish blade displays a bold, irregular hamon line running along its length, creating a striking visual boundary between the hardened edge and the spine. The steel delivers both resilience and edge retention, making this a serious collector's piece rather than a simple wall-hanger.

The 10.23-inch tsuka is built on a hardwood core wrapped in white real rayskin samegawa, then bound with black ito cord in a traditional diamond pattern. The contrast between the white rayskin panels and the dark cord creates a clean, classic look while ensuring a firm and comfortable hold.

Where the blade meets the handle, an alloy tsuba depicts a detailed samurai scene rendered in copper, gold, and dark patina tones. The figures and surrounding details are cast in relief, giving the guard genuine depth. A gold-toned lattice habaki sits just above, completing the transition with a touch of elegance.

The 30.7-inch saya is crafted from hardwood and finished in deep black piano lacquer, producing a mirror-like gloss. Three silver mon (family crest) medallions are inset along the body of the scabbard, and a black sageo cord is tied at the kurikata. The overall effect is refined and cohesive, tying together the monochromatic theme of the entire piece.

At 40.94 inches in total length and 4.4 lbs, this katana has the heft and proportions of a traditional Japanese long sword. Every component - from the spring steel blade to the lacquered saya - is assembled by hand. For collectors interested in manganese and spring steel construction, our Leather Manganese Steel Katana collection offers additional options in a similar class.

This katana arrives complete with its saya and sageo, ready for display. The sword stand or holder is not included.
